3 years agoPittsburgh Penguins winger Rickard Rakell (upper body) could be back in action on Friday against the Rangers, with the team considering him a game-time decision. He's been on the shelf since getting hurt in Game 1. Rakell put in some work at the morning skate, although he didn't take part in the line rushes, which isn't the greatest of signs regarding his potential return. At least he's close to returning now, though, and the team will need all the help they can get with Sidney Crosby (concussion) unavailable. Rakell joined Pittsburgh from Anaheim in March and made a solid contribution across 19 regular-season outings with 13 points and 38 hits.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
