Ruhwedel (arm) will be sidelined for Game 1 against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ruhwedel will miss his third straight game after suffering this arm injury that had him sporting a cast Sunday. While the 26-year-old might be an unlikely contributor in the offensive zone, he has accumulated well defensively and been a solid stop gap during the season with other blueliners out. Even once cleared, the San Diego native is a long shot for the game-day lineup now that Trevor Daley and Olli Maatta are back.
