Rutta has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury and will miss his third straight on Friday.

Rutta has three goals, five assists, 53 SOG and is a +4 plus/minus through 42 games this season but will miss Wednesday's game as he is now considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. It is a tough loss for the Penguins who are already down Kris Letang (illness).


Rutta was a game-time decision for Friday due to an undisclosed injury but it looks like he will dress without any issues. The 32-year-old has three goals, four assists, 51 SOG, 22 PIMs and a +4 plus/minus through 40 games so far this season.







Rutta has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since March 30th but is set to play Friday vs. the Stars. Rutta, who has eight assists and a plus-13 rating in 33 games this season, will skate on the third pairing with Mikhail Sergachev in his return to the lineup.
