In tonight's high-stakes game against the Maple Leafs, Rickard Rakell achieved a major individual milestone.

During the first period, Rickard Rakell scored a beautiful goal assisted by Evgeni Malkin, this goal also proved to be a major milestone for Rakell.


This was Rakell's 200th NHL goal, which is a remarkable accomplishment for the Swedish forward!



While Rakell had a difficult start to this season with a significant goal drought, his performance down the stretch has been very solid. He's playing very well with Malkin and Bunting.


RICKY RAKS!!!

He opens the scoring to give Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead with less than two minutes to go in the first!

The Malkin line will be 🔥


Beautiful release by Rakell, even better screen by Bunting and yet another point for Geno Malkin. Best 2nd line in years.

As we enter the third period, I hope that Rakell can find the net again tonight in Toronto!
