The Pittsburgh Penguins have made a significant move by activating Rickard Rakell from injured reserve, just in time for their upcoming games. Rakell has been sidelined due to a hand injury, and his return is highly anticipated as he plays a crucial role in the team's offense.

As they gear up for crucial matchups, the Penguins are hopeful that Rakell can quickly find his rhythm and contribute significantly to the team's success.
