The theme of the day seems to be Michael Rasmussen’s NHL status.
“We need to win, but we also need to make sure we’re doing the best thing we can for Michael Rasmussen long-term and our assessment as we stand here today is that the best thing to do is keep him here and keep playing,” coach Jeff Blashill said after practice Monday.
Rasmussen will play center, his natural position, on Tuesday, after logging most of his minutes at wing to help ease his transition to the pros.
I’m cool with the Red Wings keeping Rasmussen around for the rest of the season.
