The Coyotes placed Ruzicka on unconditional waivers Friday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka will have his contract terminated once he passes through waivers. Ruzicka had three goals and nine points in 39 games with the Flames before he was claimed off waivers by Arizona, where he went pointless in three appearances.

Ruzicka (not injury related) was on the ice for practice with the Coyotes on Thursday, Patrick Brown of the Coyotes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka's presence at practice suggests he has completed the immigration process after being claimed off waivers from the Flames on Jan. 25. Brown adds that Ruzicka is not expected to be in the lineup Thursday versus the Golden Knights, but the 24-year-old should be available to make his Coyotes debut in the near future.

Ruzicka (not injury related) is still working through the immigration process but is hoping to join the Coyotes on Tuesday, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he was claimed off waivers from Calgary last week, Ruzicka appears to be trending towards joining the Coyotes before their next game Thursday against Vegas. The 24-year-old Ruzicka had three goals and nine points in 39 games with the Flames. He should serve a similar depth role in Arizona.

Ruzicka was claimed off waivers by the Coyotes from the Flames on Thursday, Randy Sportak of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka has three goals and nine points in 39 contests while averaging 10:10 of ice time this season. He'll likely serve primarily in a bottom-six role with the Coyotes, though Ruzicka might be a healthy scratch Thursday to give him time to meet up with the team and perhaps get into a practice with his new squad.

Ruzicka was placed on waivers Wednesday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka has three goals and nine points in 39 contests with the Flames this season while averaging 10:10 of ice time. He was a healthy scratch for Tuesday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis. If Ruzicka clears waivers, then he'll likely be sent to AHL Calgary.

Ruzicka logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka snapped a seven-game point drought when he set up a Blake Coleman tally in the third period. Ruzicka has played most of the season in a fourth-line role. He exceeded 10 minutes of ice time in this contest, doing so for the first time since Dec. 7. Overall, the 24-year-old has nine points (four on the power play), 29 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 29 appearances.

Ruzicka logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka set up Connor Zary's game-tying goal in the third period. The helper was Ruzicka's second over the last three games. The 24-year-old center is holding down a fourth-line role at even strength as well as a spot on the second power-play unit, and it appears he's unlikely to get scratch in the near future. He's up to eight points, 24 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 21 appearances, though his inability to stick higher in the lineup limits his fantasy value significantly.

Ruzicka posted a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka set up Mikael Backlund's first-period tally. The good news for Ruzicka is that he's played in 12 of the Flames' last 13 games, seemingly steadying his role as the fourth-line center. He also works on the second power-play unit, where he's earned three of his seven points through 19 outings this season. The 24-year-old has added 23 shots on net and a minus-2 rating while seeing limited ice time, so he's not much of an option for most fantasy managers.

Ruzicka scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 7-4 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka helped out on A.J. Greer's first-period marker and followed up with a goal in the second to spark the Flames' rally. The 24-year-old Ruzicka ended a 10-game point drought with the big game, though that slump has pushed him into a fourth-line role. He's now at six points, 18 shots and a minus-2 rating through 15 appearances this season. The 24-year-old remains in danger of being scratched if his performance dips.

Ruzicka (shoulder) will return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Predators, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

EDGE Analysis

Ruzicka, who missed the past four games with a shoulder injury, is projected to center the fourth line Tuesday in his return to action. He has two goals, two assists and seven shots on net in seven contests this campaign. Ruzicka will replace Andrew Mangiapane, who is serving a one-game suspension for cross-checking Seattle's Jared McCann on Saturday, in the lineup.
