EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, Kris Letang heads to IR with a lower-body ailment. An undrafted blueliner who played collegiate hockey for UMass-Lowell (2010-13), Ruhwedel averaged a half-point per game -- including 10 assists -- with the Baby Pens ahead of his call-up. At least at lower levels, he's proven to be a pretty good setup man from the back line.
