Update

Ruhwedel was assigned to AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

Analysis

Ruhwedel hasn't made an appearance with the Rangers since Oct. 19. New York only has six defensemen on its roster at the moment, so the right-shot blueliner could be recalled ahead of Friday's game against Pittsburgh if the club is accruing cap space.

Date News Advice
Dec. 3, 2024 Ruhwedel was assigned to AHL Hartford on Tuesday. - Ruhwedel hasn't made an appearance with the Rangers since Oct. 19. New York only has six defensemen on its roster at the moment, so the right-shot blueliner could be recalled ahead of Friday's game against Pittsburgh if the club is accruing cap space. None
Nov. 26, 2024 Ruhwedel was promoted from AHL Hartford on Tuesday. - Ruhwedel has suited up for only one NHL game with the Rangers this season. The right-shot blueliner will likely serve as New York's seventh defenseman in Wednesday's divisional matchup against the Hurricanes. None
Nov. 24, 2024 Ruhwedel was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday. - Ruhwedel and Victor Mancini headed down to the minors Sunday, which could bode well for the availability of Zac Jones (upper body) ahead of Monday's matchup against St. Louis. The 34-year-old Ruhwedel has been a healthy scratch for the last six games, and he's appeared in only one game for the Rangers this season. None
Nov. 13, 2024 Ruhwedel was recalled from AHL Hartford on Wednesday. - Ruhwedel was sent to the AHL in late October, and he's tallied two assists over seven appearances with Hartford. He'll rejoin the NHL club after Victor Mancini was sent down Wednesday. None
Oct. 24, 2024 The Rangers put Ruhwedel on waivers Thursday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. - Ruhwedel saw action in just one of the Rangers' first six games, picking up a pair of hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. Should he pass through waivers, Ruhwedel -- who is on a one-year, two-way contract, will likely be sent to AHL Hartford. None
Oct. 6, 2024 Ruhwedel (undisclosed) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post. - Ruhwedel is expected to be available for Opening Night against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup. He provided one goal, four points, 90 hits and 44 blocked shots in 52 regular-season games between the Rangers and Penguins in 2023-24. None
Oct. 4, 2024 Ruhwedel will miss Friday's preseason game against the Islanders. - Ruhwedel had a goal, four points, 90 hits and 44 blocks in 52 regular-season games between Pittsburgh and the Rangers in 2023-24. The 34-year-old defenseman might serve on the third pairing if he's healthy in time for the Rangers' Opening Night against the Penguins on Wednesday. None
Oct. 3, 2024 Ruhwedel (undisclosed) practiced in a red non-contact sweater Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. - Ruhwedel went into the boards hard during Tuesday's preseason win over the Devils, and while it's not yet clear what injury he's dealing with, he was limited during Thursday's practice session. Whether his ailment will hinder his availability for Friday's preseason finale against the Islanders remains to be seen. None
July 12, 2024 Ruhwedel inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Rangers on Friday. - The fact that Ruhwedel signed a two-way deal doesn't bode well for him seeing a lot of minutes with New York this season. The 34-year-old blueliner has made a career out of being a seventh defenseman, one that includes a Stanley Cup championship, so he won't necessarily be playing a bunch with AHL Hartford. Regardless, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much out of Ruhwedel even when he does get into the lineup. None
March 8, 2024 Ruhwedel was traded to the Rangers from the Penguins on Friday in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick. - Ruhwedel has spent the past eight seasons in Pittsburgh -- this year, he's registered just one goal and three assists through 47 contests. The 33-year-old will bring his physical presence to New York, as he's logged 75 hits and 37 blocked shots this campaign. He will most likely serve as nothing more than a depth option for the Rangers down the stretch. None
Jan. 17, 2024 Ruhwedel (undisclosed) feels fine after exiting Monday's 3-0 win over Seattle for precautionary reasons and should be available Saturday versus Vegas, per Wes Crosby of NHL.com. - Ruhwedel, who left the game after absorbing a hit from Eeli Tolvanen, believes he could have even returned before the conclusion of Monday's contest if the hit had occurred earlier. Ruhwedel has a goal, two points, 38 hits and 23 blocks in 28 outings in 2023-24. He'll likely serve on the third pairing Saturday. None
Jan. 15, 2024 Ruhwedel (undisclosed) was injured in the third period of Monday's 3-0 win over Seattle. - Head coach Mike Sullivan wasn't able to provide an update on Ruhwedel's status following the contest. The 33-year-old defender left the game after taking a hit from behind from Eeli Tolvanen. It's unclear at this time if Ruhwedel will be available to play Saturday versus Vegas. None
Jan. 9, 2024 Ruhwedel scored on his only shot in Monday's 4-1 win over the Flyers. - Ruhwedel is a stay-at-home defenseman averaging a career low in ice time (12:24). His career high in points took place in 2021-22, when he added four goals and nine assists through 78 games. Ruhwedel has a pair of points through 25 contests this season. None
Dec. 16, 2023 Ruhwedel (lower body) was removed from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site. - Ruhwedel has an assist, 18 hits and 14 blocks in 15 contests this season. Although this move indicates that he's available, Ruhwedel might be a healthy scratch Saturday versus Toronto. None
Dec. 4, 2023 Ruhwedel (lower body) has begun skating and joined the Penguins on their three-game road trip, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports Monday. - Ruhwedel isn't expected to be in action against the Flyers on Monday but could be an option later in the trip if he is cleared to practice with the team. Even if he does receive medical clearance, the blueliner is far from a lock to crack the lineup ahead of Ryan Shea or John Ludvig. None
Nov. 21, 2023 Ruhwedel (lower body) is considered week-to-week according to coach Mike Sullivan, Pens Inside Scoop reports Tuesday. - Ruhwedel's injury comes at a bad time for the Penguins as Pierre-Olivier Joseph (lower body) is already on injured reserve. Unless John Ludvig (concussion) is ready to play against the Rangers on Wednesday, Pittsburgh will need to call up a player from the minors to fill out the third pairing. Ty Smith would likely have the inside track though both Taylor Fedun and Xavier Ouellet have NHL experience. None
Nov. 19, 2023 Ruhwedel left Sunday's game against Vegas with a lower-body injury and did not return. - Ruhwedel logged 10:46 of ice time and two hits before exiting the contest. Head coach Mike Sullivan did not have an update ready on the veteran blueliner after the game. Ruhwedel has one assist in 15 games this season. None
March 22, 2023 Ruhwedel logged an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. - With injuries piling up on the Penguins' blue line, Ruhwedel has appeared in three straight games. His helper was his first point in his last six contests. The 32-year-old defenseman has five assists, 34 shots on net, 77 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 40 appearances. Even when he's in the lineup, he rarely sees more than bottom-four minutes. None
Feb. 18, 2023 Ruhwedel recorded two assists in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders. - The veteran defenseman was in and out of the lineup due to injury and went 27 games without getting onto the scoresheet from mid-November through the All-Star break, but he's suddenly produced three helpers in his last three games. Ruhwedel has never had more than 13 points in an NHL season, however, and 2022-23 doesn't figure to break that pattern given his lack of power-play time and bottom-pairing role. None
Feb. 10, 2023 Ruhwedel notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks. - Ruhwedel has been a scratch on occasion this season, but he's played in every game in 2023. He snapped a 27-game point drought with a secondary helper on Bryan Rust's third-period tally. Ruhwedel has just two assists through 32 contests overall while logging a small role on the Penguins' third pairing. While he's added 61 hits and 32 blocked shots, the 32-year-old is a non-factor in most fantasy formats. None
Jan. 30, 2023 Ruhwedel hasn't recorded a point since Nov. 11 versus Toronto, which is his only point this season. - Ruhwedel has never been an offensive force and frequently serves as the seventh defenseman on the depth chart. Once Jan Rutta (upper body) is cleared to play, Ruhwedel will almost certainly find himself watching from the press box as a healthy scratch. None
Jan. 2, 2023 Ruhwedel (upper body) will be back in the lineup Monday against Boston. - Ruhwedel will dress as the seventh defensemen for Pittsburgh in the Winter Classic. Ryan Poehling will be a healthy scratch along with Drew O'Connor. Ruhwedel, who had been out since Dec. 27, has one assist, 10 shots on goal, 15 blocks and 21 hits in 17 games this season. None
Dec. 28, 2022 Per Wes Crosby of NHL.com, Ruhwedel (upper body) is still being evaluated, indicating he won't be available for Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings. - Ruhwedel will miss at least one contest with the upper-body injury he sustained during Tuesday's loss to the Islanders. With Ruhwedel sidelined, look for Ty Smith or Mark Friedman to enter the lineup against Detroit. None
Dec. 27, 2022 Ruhwedel (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's game versus the Islanders in the second period, Taylor Haase of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. - Ruhwedel was in and out of the locker room, but left late in the second period and didn't return for the third. The 32-year-old defenseman has just one assist through 17 appearances this season, so he likely won't be missed much in fantasy. If Ruhwedel isn't able to play Wednesday versus the Red Wings, Mark Friedman would likely enter the lineup. Head coach Mike Sullivan clarified Ruhwedel is dealing with an upper-body injury, per Haase. None
Dec. 7, 2022 Ruhwedel was blanked against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. - Ruhwedel has been pressed into service with Kris Letang (illness) sidelined indefinitely but shouldn't be expected to replace Letang's offensive production. In his 10 appearances this year, Ruhwedel has just one helper, seven shots and 13 hits while averaging a mere 13:36 of ice time. None
Nov. 12, 2022 Ruhwedel registered an assist to complement a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs. - Ruhwedel's playing time has diminished, in no small part because the Penguins appear committed to fast-tracking the development of Pierre-Olivier Joseph, a first-round (No. 23 overall) draft pick from 2017, who wound up in Pittsburgh as part of the Phil Kessell trade. However, Joseph is currently dealing with an upper-body injury, and the Pens prioritized work for Ruhwedel ahead of AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton call-up Mark Friedman, at least for the latest contest. None
April 24, 2022 Ruhwedel crafted a goal and an assist to complement a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 7-2 rout against the Red Wings. - Ruhwedel made his only shot count in this one, as he caught goalie Thomas Greiss completely out of position. He also posted a secondary apple on an Evgeni Malkin goal which culminated in his first two-point effort of the season. The physical blueliner has four goals, nine assists, 77 blocked shots and 140 hits with three games remaining in the regular season. None
March 17, 2022 Ruhwedel added a goal in a 3-2 win over the Blues on Thursday. - Ruhwedel dropped the first goal of the game in this one, scoring 14:42 into the first period. The defenseman also added two PIM and two hits. In 58 contests this season, Ruhwedel has three goals and five assists. None
Feb. 19, 2022 Ruhwedel signed a two-year, $1.6 million contract extension with Pittsburgh on Saturday. - Ruhwedel's extension begins following the 2021-22 season and keeps him in Pittsburgh through 2023-24. His new deal carries an average annual amount of $800,000. The 31-year-old has tallied six points, delivered a career-high 91 hits, blocked a career-high 43 shots and averaged 15:25 of ice time over 47 games this season. None
Feb. 13, 2022 Ruhwedel notched an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Devils. - Ruhwedel set up Mike Matheson's tally in the second period. The assist snapped a month-long drought on offense for Ruhwedel, who last got on the scoresheet Jan. 13 with a helper versus the Kings. The 31-year-old blueliner has five assists, 87 hits, 40 blocked shots, 45 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in 45 appearances. There are likely higher-scoring defensemen available on the waiver wire in most formats. None
Feb. 1, 2022 Ruhwedel was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Tuesday, Pens Inside Scoop reports. - Fortunately for Ruhwedel, the Penguins won't play again until Feb. 8 against the Bruins, so he should have time to clear protocols and may avoid missing any additional contests. While the 31-year-old San Diego native is not exactly an offensive stud, he's reached the 10-point threshold just once in his 10-year NHL career, Ruhwedel has been a reliable defensive option. In his stead, Mark Friedman figures to play in just his second game since mid-November. None
Dec. 19, 2021 Ruhwedel recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Devils. - Ruhwedel has two assists in his last four games, but it's too early to describe it as a hot stretch. The 31-year-old plays a predominantly defensive role on the third pairing. He's up to three helpers, 28 shots on net, 49 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 26 appearances. None
Nov. 22, 2021 Ruhwedel produced an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Jets. - Ruhwedel set up Danton Heinen for what was the game-winning goal in the third period. The 31-year-old Ruhwedel has reached double digits in points just once in his nine NHL seasons. His assist Monday was his first point of the year to go with 19 shots on net, 26 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 14 contests. None
Nov. 14, 2021 The Penguins activated Ruhwedel (COVID-19) off virus-related protocols Sunday. - The defenseman should be active Sunday against Washington after missing Saturday's game. Ruhwedel has averaged 15:40 TOI/G but hasn't tallied any points through nine contests this season. None
Nov. 12, 2021 Ruhwedel has entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols and will not play Saturday in Ottawa. - Ruhwedel tested positive for COVID-19 at the start of November, and though he's returned to game action, Canada requires those who test positive to quarantine for 14 days. Expect him back for Sunday's game in Washington. None
Nov. 11, 2021 Ruhwedel has officially been activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list and is slated to return to action Thursday versus Florida, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. - Ruhwedel is expected to skate with Marcus Pettersson on Pittsburgh's third pairing Thursday following his three-game absence. The 31-year-old defender has gone scoreless through eight appearances this year. None
Nov. 10, 2021 Ruhwedel (COVID-19) was cleared of the league's protocols and resumed skating Tuesday, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. - Ruhwedel missed the team's last three games after testing positive for COVID-19 but appears to be trending in the right direction. Even if the San Diego native does get back into the lineup against the Panthers on Thursday, he shouldn't be expected to have a heavy fantasy impact considering he is pointless to start the year and has reached the 10-point threshold just once in his 10-year NHL career.
