Clifford was falling down and Rakell never saw him coming, which ended up in an ugly fall. The Ducks&#8217; player hit his head on the ice and the game had to be stopped. He was assisted off the ice by a trainer and did not return.<\/p>\n<p>Rakell has appeared in all 36 Anaheim games this season, collecting seven goals and 15 assists for 22 points. He leads the team in both assists and points and is ranked third in goals behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/comtoma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Max Comtois<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/henriad01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adam Henrique<\/a>, both with ten. The Swede was playing in Anaheim&#8217;s top line with Comtois and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lundeis01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Isac Lundestrom<\/a> before the injury.<\/p>\n<p>During his nine-year NHL career, Rakell has 483 games with the Ducks. He has 136 goals and 169 assists for 305 career points. The 27-year-old player was drafted in the 2011 NHL Draft with the 30th pick.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means For The Future<\/h3>\n<p>The Ducks are currently sitting last in the West Division with only 28 points. They&#8217;re about to face the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/avalanche\/\" target=\"_self\">Colorado Avalanche<\/a> on Monday, who sits in second place. Being without one of their top playmakers will surely not help them extend their winning streak to three games.<\/p>\n<p>They had a scare with the rookie defenceman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/drysdja01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamie Drysdale<\/a>, who took a hit on Friday&#8217;s game against the Blues, left the ice and did not return. Even though the 19-year-old has only played six games, he has already been a key player for the Ducks. However, he only missed Sunday against the Blues and went back into the lineup on Monday. When Rakell is given a timeline we will have an update.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"QhFyxU78SPFpwgPdFmf5uQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1231972377\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'QhFyxU78SPFpwgPdFmf5uQ',sig:'H2tcnB_-k1xReutgnXv2pGgQMtx93OeLRaox9itWV5U=',w:'594px',h:'422px',items:'1231972377',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Anaheim Ducks have announced forward Rickard Rakell is out with an injury.
