Ruhwedel (upper body) is expected to play in Wednesday's clash with Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Ruhwedel looks ready to get back into the lineup after having missed just one outing due to injury. The 26-year-old is by no means an offensive powerhouse, but getting healthy on the blue line will be a necessity if the Pens are going to defend their Stanley Cup Championship. David Warsofsky figures to be a healthy scratch if Ruhwedel is cleared to play as planned.
