Ruutu missed the Hurricanes last two games with a groin injury. He sat out the first 29 games of the season after having hip surgery. He has three assists in four games. Ruutu will play on a line with Jeff Skinner and Jordan Staal.
Dumont has recorded two assists in eight games with the Habs this season.
Hossa had six points in his six games previous to getting hurt. He has 13 goals and 10 assists in 28 games this season. He will likely jump right back on the Hawks top line with Toews and Saad.

Backstrom has started 18 of the Wild’s last 20 games and is 16-4-1 with a .918 SV% and a 2.27 GAA in his last 21 games since Feb. 9. He has a tough matchup vs. a Sharks team that have won five straight.
With the trade of Ben Bishop, Anderson should step right back into the #1 job. Robin Lehner has played well this season so he will continue to get the occasional start as well. Anderson could be a worthwhile pick-up if he is available in your league.
