Penguins recall Chad Ruhwedel from conditioning stint
The Pittsburgh Penguins recalled defenseman Chad Ruhwedel from a five-game conditioning stint with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL on Sunday.
It was a successful stay for Ruhwedel, who had one goal, four assists and a plus-8 rating.
Having slipped to eighth on the depth chart, Ruhwedel hasn’t played in an NHL game since Nov. 19. The conditioning assignment was meant to combat that inactivity.
Follow the Pittsburgh Penguins all season long.
