Michael Rasmussen Back On The Road To The NHL

from Max Bultman of The Athletic,

Not many specifics of his injury had been publicly revealed, but Rasmussen said Tuesday he had been dealing with a back injury. He didn’t want to go into much detail, but said it was “just a nagging thing” that he’s over now.

“It was tough,” he said of sitting out. “Definitely never want to be out, never want to be out that long. But (I) wasn’t feeling right, so just had to get better, get healthy and just excited to be back.”

Rasmussen can’t get that time back, and at this young age (he is 20), it’s a tough point in his career to be losing two months of a season.
