Ruutu to return...TONIGHT!

Muller just confirmed that Tuomo Ruutu will see his first action of the season tonight.

Obviously Ruutu will be eased back into the line-up. He will be on the fourth line tonight, most likely with Hall and Brent. Expect Ruutu to play around 10 minutes tonight.

Couldn't come at a better time. As long as he can get back to form quickly, we can get a 3rd proven center so our 3rd line becomes potentially more of a scoring line than checking line. Either that or play him with J. Staal and Skinner on the second line so we can move dwyer down to the 3rd or 4th line where he belongs.

Not to be Debbie Downer here but $20 bucks says he gets hurt and is back on the shelf after this game.
