Rask was held off the scoresheet in Thursday's season opener against the Predators.

Analysis:

On paper, Rask lines up as the Hurricanes' third-line center. However, he did see 17:25 in ice time against the Preds - more than so-called second-line center Jordan Staal (14:22). He also saw more power-play time than Staal (3:02 vs. 2:33). If this trend continues, the points will probably follow, meaning you should bump Rask up accordingly on your fantasy cheatsheets.
