Brad Penner / USA TODAY Sports
Anaheim Ducks forward Rickard Rakell returned to the ice Wednesday, making his first appearance since re-signing with the club on Oct. 14.
The Swedish native, who recorded 43 points in 72 games last season, had his return to Southern California delayed as he awaited his work visa.
"I definitely appreciate everything a little bit more (after this summer)," Rakell said. "I'm anxious just to get back (to practice)."
