Line Change
Rasmussen will draw back into the Red Wings lineup on Thursday.
Rasmussen has collected just one assist while averaging 12:33 TOI/GM through the first five games of his NHL career. Being scratched tonight will give Rasmussen a chance to learn a few things from watching and allows Martin Frk a chance to make his season debut.
Rasmussen is a huge kid, standing in at 6-foot-6, 215 lbs. and his big frame had NHL teams intrigued. Rasmussen had 55 points (32G / 23A) in 50 games and led the Tri-City Americans (WHL) in power-play goals (15). The Canadian skates well for his size and will bring a power-forward type of game to the Red Wings lineup.
