Date News Advice
Dec. 6, 2024 Rutta notched an assist and went minus-2 in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Lightning. - Rutta has two helpers over his last six games. The 34-year-old defenseman has three assists, a minus-7 rating, 30 shots on net, 26 hits, 41 blocked shots and 16 PIM through 29 outings overall. He's playing on the third pairing with no power-play usage and an average of 16:54 of ice time per game, so there's virtually no fantasy appeal in his role. None
Nov. 26, 2024 Rutta logged an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings. - The helper was Rutta's first point since Opening Night. The 34-year-old defenseman has been limited to two helpers, 25 shots on net, 23 hits, 39 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 24 appearances this season. He's not known for his offense, but this has been a poor first seven weeks of the campaign by any measure. It's unclear if Rutta will be at risk of losing his spot in the lineup once Marc-Edouard Vlasic (back) is ready to debut. None
Nov. 17, 2024 Rutta was held off the scoresheet for the 18th game in a row in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins. - Rutta had a helper in the season opener and hasn't picked up a point since. He's added 17 shots on net, 16 PIM, 21 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 19 appearances this season. As a veteran on a fairly young blue line, Rutta's playing time appears to be secure, but it'll likely be in bottom-four minutes with no power-play time. That kind of role on a bottom-dwelling team like the Sharks makes the 34-year-old a no-go for the vast majority of fantasy formats. None
Oct. 10, 2024 Rutta logged an assist and blocked six shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues. - Rutta is more of a shutdown defenseman, but he's likely to fill a top-four role this season, so he could still make an impact on offense. The 34-year-old blueliner had 19 points in 69 appearances in 2023-24, his highest total since 2017-18. Rutta also had a minus-21 rating in his first year with the Sharks, and that's an area that will be difficult for him to improve as the team remains in its rebuilding phase. None
Sept. 20, 2024 Rutta (undisclosed) will practice in the second session Friday. - Rutta is healthy at training camp after missing the final two games of the 2023-24 campaign .

The 33-year-old defenseman is up to five goals, 19 points, 69 shots on net, 68 hits, 110 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-21 rating through 69 appearances. Rutta is one goal and one point shy of his career highs in those respective categories, and he's got two more games to add to his totals. None

He needs two more points to match his career high of 20, which he also achieved in 2017-18. None
March 26, 2024 Rutta notched an assist, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Stars. - This was Rutta's fourth game back from a lower-body injury. The 33-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four usage, but playing for a low-scoring team will keep his offense down. He's produced 16 points, 60 shots on net, 96 blocked shots, 60 hits and a minus-19 rating through 60 appearances this season. None
March 20, 2024 Rutta had one blocked shot in 20:12 of ice time in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to Nashville. - After missing the last five games with a lower body injury, Rutta returned to his regular spot on the second pairing with partner Henry Thrun. Rutta finished with two shots, one blocked shot and a minus-5 rating in 20:12 of ice time. The 33-year old defenseman offers a solid defensive presence with some peripheral offensive contributions. He may be an option for deeper leagues or those needing help in blocked shots and hits categories, but his offensive upside is limited. None

March 12, 2024 Rutta (lower body) is still day-to-day and won't be an option against the Flyers on Tuesday, per NHL.com. - Rutta isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse but with 16 points in 56 games this season, the blueliner could reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since his rookie season with Chicago back in 2017-18. Even once cleared to play, Rutta should reclaim a spot in the lineup, perhaps at the expense of Jacob MacDonald. None
March 9, 2024 Rutta (lower body) missed Saturday's game versus the Senators but will travel with the Sharks for their road trip, which begins Tuesday in Philadelphia, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Rutta's presence on the trip suggests his injury is of the short-term variety. When he's ready to play again, Calen Addison or Jacob MacDonald are the most likely defensemen to exit the lineup. None
March 6, 2024 Rutta posted an assist in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars. - This was Rutta's third helper in the last six contests. The 33-year-old blueliner has been solid in a top-four role lately, though his offense remains modest at best. He's up to 15 points, 54 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 58 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 55 outings overall. Rutta's likely to maintain his current role, but his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats. None
March 2, 2024 Rutta posted an assist, four blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars. - Rutta has two helpers and 10 blocked shots over his last four games. The 33-year-old defenseman continues to see significant minutes in a top-four role, but mostly as a defense-first presence. He's up to 14 points, 53 shots on net, 87 blocks, 57 hits and a minus-13 rating over 53 appearances this season. None
Feb. 24, 2024 Rutta posted an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Predators. - Rutta snapped a five-game point drought when he set up Filip Zadina's third-period tally. The 33-year-old Rutta has been solid in a top-four role this season, picking up 13 points, 48 shots on net, 54 hits, 78 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 50 appearances. His offense isn't high enough to carry much value in standard fantasy formats. None
Jan. 30, 2024 Rutta scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Kraken. - Rutta's point streak is at five games (three goals, three assists) after he added the insurance tally Tuesday. The 33-year-old has rarely had such productive stretches in his career, but it coincides with him seeing more consistent top-four usage with Mario Ferraro (lower body) out. Rutta is up to three goals, 12 points, 41 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 36 hits and a minus-10 rating through 44 appearances this season. None
Jan. 23, 2024 Rutta provided two assists, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers. - Rutta is warm right now, earning four points over the last three games, all wins for the Sharks. He played a key role Tuesday, setting up Ryan Carpenter for the game-tying goal in the third period and Tomas Hertl for the game-winner in overtime. Rutta has 10 points, 38 shots on net, 68 blocked shots, 36 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 42 appearances. The 33-year-old may see a larger role while Mario Ferraro (undisclosed) is out. None
Dec. 24, 2023 Rutta provided an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Canucks. - Rutta has five helpers over nine appearances in December.

Dec. 21, 2023 Rutta (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Arizona, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - Rutta has five assists, 17 hits and 43 blocks in 26 contests with the Sharks this season. His return might result in Henry Thrun being a healthy scratch Thursday. None

With just one point in 19 games this season, the 33-year-old blueliner shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside this season, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests. None

Nov. 22, 2023 Rutta (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Kraken, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. - Rutta was initially injured in the first period, briefly returned to action and then left for good in the second.

None

None
Aug. 7, 2023 Rutta (abdomen) "should be" ready for training camp, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - Rutta underwent core muscle surgery in April, but it shouldn't affect his availability for his first camp as a Shark.

He was initially given an 8-10 week timetable for his recovery. The 33-year-old blueliner accounted for three goals, six assists, 70 blocked shots and 71 hits over 56 games last season.

March 20, 2023 Rutta was labeled week-to-week Monday due to his lower-body problem. - Rutta's absence, combined with that of Marcus Pettersson (lower body) and Jeff Petry (upper body) will stretch the Penguins' blue-line depth.

He has three goals and eight points in 42 contests in 2022-23.

Jan. 13, 2023 Rutta posted a secondary assist in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Jets. - Rutta posted a season-low, minus-3 rating in Tuesday's game against the Canucks, but his apple in this latest contest helped him to a neutral rating on a night where opposing netminder David Rittich stood on his head. As a stay-at-home defender, Rutta has just eight points (three goals, five assists) through 41 games. None
Jan. 8, 2023 Rutta produced an assist, three hits and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes - Rutta had a solid game all around, which included a helper on Jake Guentzel's game-tying goal in the second period. The assist ended Rutta's point drought at 11 games, and he also went minus-8 in that span. The 32-year-old blueliner is up to seven points, a plus-7 rating, 50 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 48 hits and 22 PIM through 39 contests. He remains more of a defensive player operating in a top-four role. None
Dec. 7, 2022 Rutta registered three shots, four blocks and one hit against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. - Rutta has been getting shots on net, recording nine shots in his last three contests, but remains stuck in a six-game pointless streak.

Nov. 9, 2022 Rutta is being evaluated for an upper-body injury suffered in Wednesday's game versus the Capitals, Taylor Haase of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. - Rutta was hurt in the second period and didn't return to the game. At one point, the Penguins only had three defensemen available, but Jeff Petry was able to return to the contest. Rutta can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game in Toronto. None
Oct. 23, 2022 Rutta tallied a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets. - Facing a two-goal deficit heading into the second period, Rutta helped his team flip the script.

Oct. 21, 2022 Rutta scored a goal against Los Angeles on Thursday, his first for the Penguins. - Rutta set a new season high in ice time (18:19) while dishing out three hits and two blocks in addition to his goal.

None
July 13, 2022 Rutta signed a three-year, $8.25 million contract with the Penguins on Wednesday. - After going to the Stanley Cup Finals in three straight years with the Lightning, Rutta will get a change of scenery.

The 31-year-old will likely continue to fill a mainly defensive role going forward, so a repeat of Friday's effort is unlikely. None
June 7, 2022 Rutta picked up a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers. - Rutta assisted on goals from Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos as the Lightning tied the series 2-2.

April 15, 2022 Rutta has three points in his last six games. - He's also put up 11 hits and fired eight shots in that span, but his ice time has dropped game-by-game. Rutta skated 19:52 in the first game and it has dropped to 13:48 on Thursday. He has delivered 11 hits in those six games, so there's some minor value in his fantasy game. None

The 31-year-old is the more defensive half of a pairing with Victor Hedman. Rutta is at 10 points, 47 shots on net, 50 hits, 41 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-10 rating in 43 contests this season. It's the first time he's reached double-digits in points since the 2017-18 campaign. None
Jan. 27, 2022 Rutta (undisclosed) will play Thursday against the Devils, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports. - Rutta is set to return from a three-game absence Thursday. He's averaging 16:40 of ice time with nine points through 39 games this season. None
Jan. 25, 2022 Rutta (undisclosed) participated in Tuesday's practice, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports. - Rutta still remains questionable for Thursday due to his day-to-day status. He has missed the last three Tampa Bay games while dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old has averaged 17:05 of ice time and distributed two assists over his last 10 appearances. None
Jan. 21, 2022 Rutta (undisclosed) won't play Friday against Anaheim, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports. - Rutta will miss a second straight contest Friday and remains without a definite timetable for his return. Another update on the 31-year-old defender, who's picked up nine points through 39 games this season, should surface once he's cleared to play. None
Jan. 18, 2022 Rutta (undisclosed) is not expected to be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Kings, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports. - Due to injuries and salary cap concerns, the Lightning are only able to dress four defensemen for the contest. The nature of Rutta's injury is unknown at this time, though the team will likely call up defensemen from the taxi squad or AHL Syracuse if no one is able to return Friday versus the Ducks. None
Jan. 1, 2022 Rutta has one point in his last 14 games. - The lack of offense isn't surprising -- Rutta isn't known for those skills. He does continue to provide modest totals in secondary categories (15 each, hits and blocks) in that same span. Rutta is best left on the wire in virtually all formats, as he's a better on-ice guy than a fantasy play. None

The 31-year-old Rutta has put up modest offense with six points and 22 shots on net in 18 contests. He's added 18 blocked shots, 17 hits and 14 PIM while often pairing with Victor Hedman at even strength. Rutta's a more defensive player, but he can make for a solid budget option in DFS in the right matchups. None
Nov. 21, 2021 Rutta scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils. - The veteran blueliner put together his first multi-point effort in the NHL in over three years, but it went to waste as the Bolts squandered a third-period lead. Rutta has two goals and five points through 15 games, putting him on pace for a career-best season -- not a high bar to clear considering his best season is a 20-point effort in 2017-18. None
