Ruhwedel is averaging a mere 12:40 of ice time, primarily observing the game from the bench.

EDGE Analysis

Considering most defensemen log closer to 20 minutes than 10 minutes per game, Ruhwedel's minimal utilization stands out. The 27-year-old could face the prospect of being bumped from the game-day lineup entirely once Matt Hunwick (concussion) is cleared to return to action. Unless he can up his minutes, Ruhwedel won't offer much in terms of fantasy value -- even in deeper formats.
