INJURIES

Traded to Rangers Ruhwedel was traded to the Rangers on Friday in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
Impact Ruhwedel has spent the past eight seasons in Pittsburgh, this year he's registered one goal and three assists. The 33-year-old will bring his physical presence to New York as he's logged 75 hits and 37 blocked shots. He will most likely slide into the second or third defensive pairing.
MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Available for Saturday 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.
Impact 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.
JANUARY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers injury Monday Ruhwedel (undisclosed) was injured in the third period of Monday's 3-0 win over Seattle.
Impact 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.
JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Posts rare point in win Ruhwedel scored on his only shot in Monday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
Impact 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.
JANUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Off injured reserve Ruhwedel (lower body) was removed from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Traveling with team 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.
Impact 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.
DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Designated for injured reserve Ruhwedel (lower body) has been placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Impact Ruhwedel's designation for injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise considering he was labeled week-to-week by coach Mike Sullivan. By putting the veteran defenseman on IR, the Penguins will be able to either activate John Ludvig (concussion) or call up a blueliner from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Even when healthy, Ruhwedel is far from a lock for the lineup and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.
NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Officially labeled week-to-week Ruhwedel (lower body) is considered week-to-week according to coach Mike Sullivan, Pens Inside Scoop reports Tuesday.
Impact 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.
NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers lower-body injury Ruhwedel left Sunday's game against Vegas with a lower-body injury and did not return.
Impact 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.

Gathers helper Ruhwedel logged an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact 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.

Ferguson stops 48 shots, Senators top reeling Penguins 2-1

Dylan Ferguson stopped 48 shots in his first NHL start, and the Ottawa Senators topped the reeling Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1
MARCH 21, 2023 • Associated Press
Surprising two-point effort Ruhwedel recorded two assists in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.
Impact 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.
