Update: Ruutu (upper body) will return on Tuesday against the Panthers, the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Recommendation: You can expect to see Ruutu on the third line with Patrick Dwyer and Brandon Sutter(notes). “When he’s out of the lineup, it’s kind of a tough void to fill,” Sutter said. “He brings some physicality, some speed. He’s a battler and a warrior and a great guy to have on your line.” Give Ruutu some time to adjust to game speed before deploying him in fantasy leagues.
