Rutta recently returned from an injury that kept him out of the lineup for nearly three months, but returned to the sidelines with a lower-body injury after only playing two games. He is expected to re-enter the lineup for San Jose's season finale on Wednesday. The 34-year-old Rutta is averaging 17:05 time-on-ice and has nine points (3G / 6A) in 53 games this season.
