Line Change
Skinner, Staal, Ruutu
Ruutu scored 19 goals and 57 points playing mostly on the second line last season. Playing with Staal over a full season, he should be able to replicate those totals.
Tuomo Ruutu News
Tuomo Ruutu missed today's practices but should return tomorrow, Maurice said, although he likely will not play in the Winnipeg road game.
At this point in training camp Ruutu's healthy down the road is much more important than playing an exhibition game. The Finnish forward scored 19 goals and 57 points last season, playing most of the year on the second line. Look for a similar return on investment as well as a boost in value for fantasy hockey leagues which count hits.
