Rickard Rakell Injury: Will miss at least three more weeks

Rakell's (hand) return timeline was updated Wednesday, and he is expected to return in 3-4 weeks.

Rakell is trending toward the latter half of his initial 6-8 week timeline, which came after he underwent surgery in late October. At this point, don't expect Rakell to be back prior to the holiday break. Once healthy, he'll likely fill a top-six role with ice time in all situations.
