EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Rutta has played in just one game since early February, in part due to injury. In his lone playoff appearance, the blueliner logged 16:58 of ice time in which he recorded on shot and three blocks. Even once given the all-clear, Rutta is far from a lock for the lineup and would need to beat out Kevin Shattenkirk for a spot.
