Ruhwedel was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Saturday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruhwedel's demotion indicates that Carlo Colaiacovo (lower body) is likely ready to return to action Saturday against Toronto. The 25-year-old blueliner will likely spend the rest of the season with AHL Rochester unless another Sabres defender sustains an injury.
