Rutta posted a secondary assist in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Rutta posted a season-low, minus-3 rating in Tuesday's game against the Canucks, but his apple in this latest contest helped him to a neutral rating on a night where opposing netminder David Rittich stood on his head. As a stay-at-home defender, Rutta has just eight points (three goals, five assists) through 41 games.

Rutta produced an assist, three hits and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes

EDGE Analysis

Rutta had a solid game all around, which included a helper on Jake Guentzel's game-tying goal in the second period. The assist ended Rutta's point drought at 11 games, and he also went minus-8 in that span. The 32-year-old blueliner is up to seven points, a plus-7 rating, 50 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 48 hits and 22 PIM through 39 contests. He remains more of a defensive player operating in a top-four role.

Rutta registered three shots, four blocks and one hit against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rutta has been getting shots on net, recording nine shots in his last three contests, but remains stuck in a six-game pointless streak. The 32-year-old Czech isn't exactly known for his offensive production, having reached the 10-point mark in just one of his last four seasons.

Rutta (upper body) will be in Friday's lineup against Toronto, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rutta was injured Wednesday against Washington but it won't force him to miss any game action. The 32-year-old blueliner has four points and a plus-7 rating while averaging 15:54 of ice time through 13 games in his first season as a Penguin.

Rutta is being evaluated for an upper-body injury suffered in Wednesday's game versus the Capitals, Taylor Haase of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rutta was hurt in the second period and didn't return to the game. At one point, the Penguins only had three defensemen available, but Jeff Petry was able to return to the contest. Rutta can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game in Toronto.

Rutta tallied a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Facing a two-goal deficit heading into the second period, Rutta helped his team flip the script. In addition to his apple, the efficient third-pairing defenseman has two goals on five shots, giving him an unsustainable shooting percentage (40.0) in his debut season with the Penguins.

Rutta scored a goal against Los Angeles on Thursday, his first for the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Rutta set a new season high in ice time (18:19) while dishing out three hits and two blocks in addition to his goal. The 32-year-old defenseman has never scored more than six goals in a season over the course of his six-year NHL career, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of him in the offensive end.

Rutta signed a three-year, $8.25 million contract with the Penguins on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After going to the Stanley Cup Finals in three straight years with the Lightning, Rutta will get a change of scenery. The 31-year-old had 18 points in a career-high 76 contests last season, often drawing first-pairing assignments despite averaging 16:23 of ice time per game. The 31-year-old's role in Pittsburgh has yet to be determined, but he'll likely be a flexible, defense-first blueliner.

Rutta scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Rutta is hardly known for his scoring, but he was able to get a long shot past Darcy Kuemper for the opening goal Friday. In 16 playoff appearances this year, Rutta has added four assists, 10 shots on net, 16 hits, eight blocked shots, 17 PIM and a plus-5 rating. The 31-year-old will likely continue to fill a mainly defensive role going forward, so a repeat of Friday's effort is unlikely.

Rutta picked up a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Rutta assisted on goals from Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos as the Lightning tied the series 2-2. Rutta now has three assists in the postseason while playing alongside Victor Hedman on Tampa's top pairing. The 31-year-old defenseman finished the regular season with 18 points (three goals, 15 assists) and a plus-25 rating.
