Michael Rasmussen Fantasy Stats

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen (undisclosed) left Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Boston Bruins midway through the third period. Rasmussen only recently returned from an undisclosed injury, scoring in back-to-back games. Now, he could be set for another spell on the sidelines. In 24 appearances this season, Rasmussen has contributed four goals and four assists. His exit from the lineup would be a second blow in a short space of time for Detroit's bottom-six group, as Mason Appleton (lower body) was ruled out for at least a week before Tuesday's game.

Detroit Red Wings right wing Michael Rasmussen (head) is cleared to return to the starting lineup on Thursday when the Red Wings face the Utah Hockey Club. The 25-year-old has been sidelined for their previous four contests due to this injury. Fantasy managers should expect Rasmussen to return to his role in the bottom-six of the Detroit offense. Before his injury, the 25-year-old tallied three points (all helpers) over his last nine contests. During this stretch, Rasmussen tallied 20 shots on goal with 11 hits and five blocked shots. Through 56 total contests, Rasmussen has scored nine goals and added seven helpers with 96 hits and 38 blocked shots. Given his lack of consistent offensive production and low ice time, he carries high-risk in DFS formats on Thursday evening.

Detroit Red Wings center Michael Rasmussen (upper body) will not travel with the team to Minnesota for their contest against the Wild on Tuesday evening. Rasmussen sustained this injury during their overtime victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. Rasmussen left the contest in the second frame after taking a hit. Before exiting, the 25-year-old logged just over eight minutes of ice time and held a -1 rating with two hits. Across 56 contests this season, Rasmussen has found the back of the net eight times and added seven helpers with 96 hits and 38 blocked shots. While the 25-year-old is sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Sheldon Dries to draw into the starting lineup as he was promoted from Grand Rapids earlier on Monday.

Detroit Red Wings center Michael Rasmussen (upper body) might make a quick return to the lineup. He missed his first game of the season on Saturday versus Los Angeles, but Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde hopes to have him available again on Monday against San Jose. The same applies to defenseman Simon Edvinsson (lower body). Rasmussen leads the Red Wings forwards with 30 hits and has logged four points (two goals, two assists) across 16 games. Tyler Motte took his place in the lineup on Saturday. He will likely head back to the press box if Rasmussen is ready to return on Monday.

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen has agreed to a four-year, $12.8 million extension with the club. Rasmussen is getting a nice pay rise as he completes a three-year, $4.38 million deal this season. The 24-year-old has skated in 55 games with the Red Wings in 2023-24, posting 11 goals and 12 assists. He's second on the team with a plus-11 rating and third with 92 hits. Rasmussen has spent the last couple of games on the first line, although he has been anonymous lately on offense and hasn't picked up any points in four straight outings.

Detroit Red Wings center Michael Rasmussen (knee) has officially come off Injured Reserve and is deemed good to go for the 2023-24 season. The 24-year-old had his 2022-23 campaign cut short by a knee injury in February. He was enjoying a fine year before the injury happened, posting 10 goals and 29 points in 56 appearances. Rasmussen is sitting on 86 points (36 goals, 50 assists) in 238 games for his whole career. With J.T. Compher joining the squad, Rasmussen will face extra competition for playing time at center, and it will be tricky for him to maintain his scoring rate from last season.

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen (knee) is likely finished for the 2022-23 campaign, according to head coach Derek Lalonde. He took a shot off his kneecap last weekend against Tampa Bay and has already missed two games because of the injury. The 23-year-old has been enjoying a decent campaign with 10 goals and 29 points in 56 games. With Rasmussen out of commission, Joe Veleno should see more action for the rest of the way, while Tyler Bertuzzi's move to Boston also opens up some minutes for other Red Wings forwards.

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen suffered a lower-body injury against Tampa Bay Saturday. He logged only 2:13 of ice time and had to exit the game after blocking a shot with his left knee area. Rasmussen is now doubtful for Monday's game against Ottawa. The 23-year-old has worked on the second line lately, and he's done a decent job throughout the season, getting 10 goals and 29 points in 56 games. He's been a workhorse without the puck as well, sitting fourth on the team with 119 hits. Jakub Vrana was a healthy scratch on Saturday and will have a chance to re-enter the lineup if Rasmussen isn't healthy enough to play Monday.

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen had the game of his life Wednesday versus Tampa Bay, posting four points in a 7-4 victory. He scored twice and was also able to pick up a pair of assists in 18:00 of ice time. The 23-year-old is currently playing first-line minutes because Dylan Larkin is limited in the face-off circle due to a hand injury. With David Perron also on the line, Rasmussen has received a great opportunity to impress. The trio combined for 10 points in Wednesday's win. Having averaged only 14:28 of action for the season, Rasmussen has been able to get only 15 points across 30 appearances, but he has upped his production massively in a top-line role with five points in two games.

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen has received a two-game suspension from the NHL. He is getting punished for high-sticking Boston's David Krejci in Thursday's 5-1 loss. Krejci was forced to leave the game after Rasmussen hit him in the head with his stick. The Red Wings are losing a player who has been very effective in pretty limited minutes this season, with Rasmussen having notched five points while averaging only 13:45 of ice time. He will be eligible to return to action next Thursday against Washington. With Oskar Sundqvist (upper body) having picked up an injury this week, the Red Wings attack will look a lot different in the next couple of games and there could be some short-term options emerging for fantasy managers.

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen tallied the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Winnipeg and has now scored in four of the last five games. Sam Gagner took care of the rest of the goals as Detroit recorded back-to-back wins for only the third time in 2022. Rasmussen was completely cold before starting his goal-scoring run, although he hasn't been totally anonymous, going for 23 points in 69 games. His minutes have gone up significantly in recent games, and the 22-year-old even had a chance to skate on the first line on Wednesday due to Tyler Bertuzzi's vaccination status.
