Point streak reaches three games Rakell recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues. He also recorded five shots on goal, three hits and a plus-1 rating.

Impact Rakell notched a goal for the first time since March 21, when he scored a goal in the 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets, but the 31-year-old has been able to impact the Penguins' offense even when he's not finding the twine. Rakell has recorded points in 12 of his 15 appearances since the beginning of March, tallying 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) over that span.

Logs power-play helper Rakell notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 1-0 overtime win over the Senators.

Impact Rakell has a helper in each of the last two games and ended March with seven goals and eight assists over 14 outings. However, the 31-year-old is in a tricky spot currently, as he was moved down to center the second line following the call-ups of Rutger McGroarty and Ville Koivunen. Rakell could be in for a rough April if he's away from Sidney Crosby at even strength. Either way, it's been an awesome year for Rakell, who has 32 goals, 32 helpers, 15 power-play points, 180 shots on net, 109 hits, 74 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating through 74 appearances.
