Rest should help Ruutu recover: The Sports Xchange reports Hurricanes RW Tuomo Ruutu played in only one of the last three games because of an ankle injury. He probably shouldn't have been back in the lineup for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final against Pittsburgh based on his limited impact in that game and the fact that he wasn't on the ice for the season-ending Game 4. This ailment should be taken care of with the normal rest of the offseason.

Injury Report

Ankle - Probable for the start of training camp

Fantasy Analysis

Ruutu had the finest season of his career in 2008-09, so it was a real shame it ended on such a sour note. He posted career highs in goals (26), assists (28), points (54) and game-winning goals (4). He also tied a career high with 10 power-play scores. Ruutu seemed to do his best work down the stretch (12 goals and 25 points in final 31 games) once he got used to Paul Maurice's system. Ruutu will be a restricted free agent July 1 and it will be interesting to see what happens. He is still fairly young at 26 years old and could continue to develop. But we still like Ruutu more as a low-end Fantasy forward Draft Day.
(Updated 06/21/2009).

RW Tuomo Ruutu hadn't missed a game since October before sitting out two games in the Eastern Conference final. His absence was noticeable, particularly because his play gave the team a rough edge to it. He ranked 10th in the NHL in hits during the regular season. But against Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference final, he played less than 11 total minutes because of the injury, and it's safe to say that the Hurricanes didn't have anyone stepping into that role. 53/1/2009
