Minnesota Wild center Victor Rask was back in the lineup on Thursday against Dallas after missing four games as a healthy scratch, and he went off for three points in a big 7-2 win. He scored once with two shots on goal and recorded two assists in 12:37 of action. Rask doesn't have much fantasy appeal, but managers should keep an eye on him, as he's paired with the team's leading scorer Kirill Kaprizov. Frederick Gaudreau also skates on the line, and the trio combined for eight points in Thursday's blowout win.
Minnesota Wild centerman Victor Rask tallied a goal and an assist on Monday. His team was able to knock off Vegas in a tightly contested battle, winning 6-5. Rask has been a critical component for the Wild in 2021, playing center on the team's third line. He has been flexible, moving up and down the lineup when needed to fill in a spot. The Swedish forward is responsible for 21 points in 49 contests. Minnesota has five regular-season games remaining, including two against Anaheim, who are out of the playoff picture.
Minnesota Wild center Victor Rask will be the latest player to return to action following a stint on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list. He's back in the lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Anaheim Ducks, replacing Marcus Johansson. Rask has had it tough in Minnesota since getting traded from the Carolina Hurricanes for Nino Niederreiter in January 2019. He's been stuck on the fourth line this season, averaging only 10:33 per night and registering three goals in 11 outings. He'll be on second-line duty for Saturday's action, so maybe he can finally kick into gear in a Wild uniform. Rask had a two-goal outing just before getting sidelined, which is a positive sign.
