Impact He set up Sidney Crosby tallies in each of the first two periods. Rakell continues to thrive on the Penguins' top line, and the 31-year-old winger sits one goal short of his third career 30-goal campaign -- and first since 2017-18 -- and four points away from reaching 60 for the third time.

Scores lone goal in loss Rakell scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Rakell has scored four goals across three games to begin March, already surpassing his goal total (two) over eight contests in February. The 31-year-old is up to 29 tallies, 53 points, 165 shots on net, 100 hits, 66 blocked shots and a minus-23 rating through 63 appearances. He's one of the biggest names in trade talks, especially when he's having one of the best seasons of his career. As long as Rakell stays in Pittsburgh, he'll have the fantasy-friendly position of playing on Sidney Crosby's wing.

Penguins visit the Avalanche after Rakell's 2-goal game

The Pittsburgh Penguins visit the Colorado Avalanche after Rickard Rakell scored two goals in the Penguins' 6-5 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs

MARCH 3, 2025 • Associated Press

Two goals in home loss Rakell netted a pair of even-strength goals on three shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Rakell has scored in back-to-back games after being held without a marker in five prior outings. The right-shot forward tied the score on two separate occasions Sunday, but his efforts weren't enough to help the Penguins squeak out a win. The 31-year-old has generated 28 goals and 24 assists across 62 appearances this season. Rakell's 34 goals with Anaheim in 2017-18 are a career high, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that he surpasses that number with 19 games remaining on Pittsburgh's schedule in 2024-25.

Impact Rakell had gone five games without a goal, and he's earned just two point over five outings since his return from the 4 Nations Face-Off with Team Sweden. The 31-year-old is having one of the best years of his career, but he's lost a bit of momentum recently. For the season, he's at 26 goals, 50 points, 160 shots on net, 98 hits, 66 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating over 61 appearances.

Records assist Saturday Rakell offered an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Rakell fell ill while with Team Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off, but the illness didn't cost him any NHL action. The 31-year-old is on a roll with two goals and five assists during a six-game point streak in league play. For the season, he's up to an impressive 49 points, 149 shots on net, 93 hits, 66 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 57 appearances. While Rakell has three more years left on his contract after 2024-25, he comes with an affordable $5 million cap hit and could be a trade target for many contenders over the next couple of weeks if the Penguins decide to part ways with him while his value is high.

Rakell should occupy a top-six role and see time on the power play in Saturday's game.
