Chad Ruhwedel has been placed on waivers by the New York Rangers after playing just one game this season, where he recorded no points but had a plus-2 rating. Last season, he scored one goal and totaled four points over 52 games with both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Rangers. A former Sabres defenseman, he began his NHL career in Buffalo, where he played 33 games across four seasons, contributing two assists and 36 hits. If he clears waivers, he will join the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack, appealing to teams in need of defensive depth.
