Latest news
Rasmussen scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Rasmussen has started slow on offense, but he's showing signs of heating up. The 27-year-old forward has a goal and two assists over his last four games, accounting for all of his offense on the year. He's added 11 shots on net, 20 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 10 appearances. Rasmussen is getting power-play usage this season while skating on the third line at even strength. Fantasy managers will need to see a bit more from him on offense before picking him up.

Rasmussen (lower body) was skating on the second line during Thursday's practice session to begin training camp, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.
Rasmussen missed the end of the 2025-26 campaign due to a lower-body injury, but he appears to have moved past the issue during the offseason. It seems unlikely that he'll face limitations stemming from his previous injury leading up to Opening Night. Across 64 regular-season appearances last year, he recorded six goals, eight assists, 64 hits and 63 blocked shots while averaging 12:39 of ice time.

Rasmussen (lower body) will miss some games after exiting Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.
Rasmussen's injury Tuesday is related to his previous lower-body issue, as he was hit with a shot in almost exactly the same spot. With Rasmussen out, Dominik Shine will likely get the first crack at filling the opening in the lineup.

Rasmussen (lower body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets.
Rasmussen was in just his third game back from a previous lower-body injury. It's unclear if this issue is related to the earlier one. The 26-year-old can be considered day-to-day until the Red Wings provide more information.
RotoWire via ESPN · Apr 8
Rasmussen (lower body) will play against the Rangers on Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Following a nine-game absence, Rasmussen will replace Mason Appleton in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers. The 26-year-old Rasmussen has six goals, 14 points, 64 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 62 hits across 61 appearances this season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Apr 4
Rasmussen (undisclosed) hasn't resumed skating yet and could be at least another 7-10 days away from return to the lineup, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Tuesday.
Rasmussen will miss his fifth straight game against Ottawa on Tuesday and remains in the treatment phase of his recovery. Rasmussen has chipped in six goals, 14 points, 64 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 62 hits across 61 outings this season.
