Ruhwedel was called up Tuesday from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

EDGE Analysis

Ruhwedel has seven points through the first 10 games of the AHL season, which leads all defensemen with the Baby Pens. The 26-year-old, who signed with Pittsburgh during the offseason, has logged just five NHL games over the previous two campaigns and will likely be a healthy scratch Tuesday against Edmonton.
