Ruhwedel will likely be re-assigned back to AHL Rochester with Andrej Meszaros (hand) returning, reports John Vogl of The Buffalo News. Ruhwedel was the No. 6 defenseman on the Sabres depth chart and averaged less than 13 minutes in two games, though he was quite productive with an assists, three shots on goal, five hits and two blocked shots. Zach Bogosian (lower body) is not expected to play Friday but the Sabres are carrying enough defenseman and would probably like Ruhwedel to play 20 minutes for AHL Rochester instead. Ruhwedel will make a run for a regular roster spot next season.
