Rasmussen produced a goal and an assist in Friday's season-ending 5-3 win over New Jersey. Rasmussen opened the scoring with his 15th goal of the season in the first and assisted on Moritz Seider's second-period tally. Though Rasmussen's season total of 27 points in 80 games is unimpressive, the 6-foot-6 forward showed some promise down the stretch with goals in three of his last four games.

Rasmussen scored an empty-net goal in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Devils. The Devils had trouble advancing the puck past center ice due to some stingy defense from Adam Erne, who jarred the puck right in the path of Rasmussen for a chip shot into the empty cage. Rasmussen has drawn praise from team brass for his competitiveness down the stretch, but either way, the Wings have him on the books for two more seasons and $1.46 million AAV, and that's not exactly a big investment for a player taken ninth overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.

Rasmussen collected a goal and four hits in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Penguins. Rasmussen broke out offensively with four goals in five games from the end of March through April 6, though he followed it up with a seven-game pointless skid before getting back on the horse against the Pens. There is plenty of untapped potential with Rasmussen -- whom the Wings drafted ninth overall in 2017 -- but he'll need to discover ways to be more consistent in the attacking zone.

Rasmussen is dealing with an illness but still expected to suit up versus the Lightning on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports. There is a lack of specific information regarding Rasmussen's illness, but it caused him to miss practice Friday. More details should surface closer to puck drop concerning the bottom-six center's status; he has recorded eight goals and 11 assists through 62 games.

Rasmussen found the back of the net in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Maple Leafs. Rasmussen deflected a Moritz Seider shot for his seventh goal of the season. Amazingly, this tally was one of eight that took place in the third period. Still, the 22-year-old is averaging only 14:40 of ice time, which limits his fantasy prospects at this juncture.

Rasmussen, Elson and Sundqvist may have been the Wings' best line tonight.
