| Date | News | Advice |
|---|---|---|
| April 15, 2024 | Rutta (undisclosed) will miss the final two games of the regular season, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Rutta will finish 2023-24 with five goals, 19 points, 69 shots on net, 110 blocked shots and 69 hits in 69 games. He still has one more season left on his three-year, $8.25 million contract. | None |
| April 14, 2024 | Rutta scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Wild. - Rutta ended a six-game slump by scoring the Sharks' first goal. The 33-year-old defenseman is up to five goals, 19 points, 69 shots on net, 68 hits, 110 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-21 rating through 69 appearances. Rutta is one goal and one point shy of his career highs in those respective categories, and he's got two more games to add to his totals. | None |
| March 30, 2024 | Rutta scored an empty-net goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blues. - Rutta has a point in three straight games, earning a goal and two assists in that span. The 33-year-old is up to four goals -- his most in a season since 2017-18, his first NHL campaign -- with 14 assists, 61 shots on net, 98 blocked shots, 62 hits and a minus-18 rating over 62 appearances. He needs two more points to match his career high of 20, which he also achieved in 2017-18. | None |
| March 26, 2024 | Rutta notched an assist, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Stars. - This was Rutta's fourth game back from a lower-body injury. The 33-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four usage, but playing for a low-scoring team will keep his offense down. He's produced 16 points, 60 shots on net, 96 blocked shots, 60 hits and a minus-19 rating through 60 appearances this season. | None |
| March 20, 2024 | Rutta had one blocked shot in 20:12 of ice time in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to Nashville. - After missing the last five games with a lower body injury, Rutta returned to his regular spot on the second pairing with partner Henry Thrun. Rutta finished with two shots, one blocked shot and a minus-5 rating in 20:12 of ice time. The 33-year old defenseman offers a solid defensive presence with some peripheral offensive contributions. He may be an option for deeper leagues or those needing help in blocked shots and hits categories, but his offensive upside is limited. | None |
| March 19, 2024 | Rutta (lower body) will be back in the lineup Tuesday on the road in Nashville, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. - Rutta will return to action after missing the past five games due to injury. The 33-year-old has three goals and 12 assists in 56 games played this season. He will either be on the second or third defensive pairing when the Sharks visit Nashville on Tuesday. | None |
| March 17, 2024 | Rutta (lower body) won't play Sunday versus the Blackhawks, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. - Rutta will miss his fifth straight game. He has chipped in three goals, 15 points, 90 blocked shots and 58 hits across 56 appearances this campaign. Once he's cleared to return, Rutta could challenge Marc-Edouard Vlasic or Jacob MacDonald for playing time. | None |
| March 16, 2024 | Rutta (lower body) will not be in the lineup Saturday versus Columbus, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. - Rutta will miss his fourth consecutive game. He could be ready to go Sunday when the Sharks face Chicago as they near the end of their five-game road trip. Rutta has three goals, 15 points and 90 blocked shots in 56 contests this season. | None |
| March 14, 2024 | Rutta (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Penguins, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - Rutta will miss his third straight game with the injury, though he is on the Sharks' current road trip. With Jacob MacDonald (illness) also out, the Sharks will dress five defensemen for Thursday's game. It's unclear if Rutta will be cleared to return Saturday versus the Blue Jackets. | None |
| March 12, 2024 | Rutta (lower body) is still day-to-day and won't be an option against the Flyers on Tuesday, per NHL.com. - Rutta isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse but with 16 points in 56 games this season, the blueliner could reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since his rookie season with Chicago back in 2017-18. Even once cleared to play, Rutta should reclaim a spot in the lineup, perhaps at the expense of Jacob MacDonald. | None |
| March 9, 2024 | Rutta (lower body) missed Saturday's game versus the Senators but will travel with the Sharks for their road trip, which begins Tuesday in Philadelphia, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Rutta's presence on the trip suggests his injury is of the short-term variety. When he's ready to play again, Calen Addison or Jacob MacDonald are the most likely defensemen to exit the lineup. | None |
| March 6, 2024 | Rutta posted an assist in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars. - This was Rutta's third helper in the last six contests. The 33-year-old blueliner has been solid in a top-four role lately, though his offense remains modest at best. He's up to 15 points, 54 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 58 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 55 outings overall. Rutta's likely to maintain his current role, but his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats. | None |
| March 2, 2024 | Rutta posted an assist, four blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars. - Rutta has two helpers and 10 blocked shots over his last four games. The 33-year-old defenseman continues to see significant minutes in a top-four role, but mostly as a defense-first presence. He's up to 14 points, 53 shots on net, 87 blocks, 57 hits and a minus-13 rating over 53 appearances this season. | None |
| Feb. 24, 2024 | Rutta posted an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Predators. - Rutta snapped a five-game point drought when he set up Filip Zadina's third-period tally. The 33-year-old Rutta has been solid in a top-four role this season, picking up 13 points, 48 shots on net, 54 hits, 78 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 50 appearances. His offense isn't high enough to carry much value in standard fantasy formats. | None |
| Jan. 30, 2024 | Rutta scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Kraken. - Rutta's point streak is at five games (three goals, three assists) after he added the insurance tally Tuesday. The 33-year-old has rarely had such productive stretches in his career, but it coincides with him seeing more consistent top-four usage with Mario Ferraro (lower body) out. Rutta is up to three goals, 12 points, 41 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 36 hits and a minus-10 rating through 44 appearances this season. | None |
| Jan. 23, 2024 | Rutta provided two assists, three blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers. - Rutta is warm right now, earning four points over the last three games, all wins for the Sharks. He played a key role Tuesday, setting up Ryan Carpenter for the game-tying goal in the third period and Tomas Hertl for the game-winner in overtime. Rutta has 10 points, 38 shots on net, 68 blocked shots, 36 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 42 appearances. The 33-year-old may see a larger role while Mario Ferraro (undisclosed) is out. | None |
| Dec. 24, 2023 | Rutta provided an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Canucks. - Rutta has five helpers over nine appearances in December. The 33-year-old has been a steady presence in a top-four role when healthy this season, but he doesn't add much offense. Rutta's at six assists, 29 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 28 appearances. | None |
| Dec. 21, 2023 | Rutta (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Arizona, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - Rutta has five assists, 17 hits and 43 blocks in 26 contests with the Sharks this season.

| Dec. 19, 2023 | Rutta (illness) will be a game-time decision Tuesday against the Kings, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News. - Rutta has produced five assists, 29 shots on goal, 43 blocked shots and 17 hits in 26 games this season. If he can't play, Marc-Edouard Vlasic will replace him on the blue line. | None |
| Dec. 13, 2023 | Rutta posted an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Jets. - Rutta has racked up four assists over five games since he returned from an undisclosed injury that cost him five contests. The 33-year-old defenseman had managed just one assist over the first 19 games of the season. He's stabilized his place in the Sharks' bottom four as a veteran presence for the team's many young blueliners. Rutta is at five assists, 24 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 24 appearances. | None |
| Dec. 3, 2023 | Rutta (undisclosed) was activated from the IR prior to Sunday's game against the Rangers. - Rutta had missed San Jose's last five games after suffering an injury on Nov. 22 in Seattle. The 33-year-old blueliner has one point (an assist) with a minus-11 rating while averaging 18:37 of ice time in his first season with the Sharks. | None |
| Dec. 1, 2023 | Rutta (undisclosed) won't play against the Devils on Friday but is expected to play during the team's road trip, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports. - Rutta will be out of action for his fifth consecutive game due to his undisclosed injury. With just one point in 19 games this season, the 33-year-old blueliner shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside this season, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests. | None |
| Nov. 24, 2023 | Rutta (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News. - Rutta has an assist, 10 hits and 36 blocks in 19 games this season. The move is presumably retroactive to Wednesday, which is when he last played, so Rutta is eligible to be activated in time for next Thursday's contest versus Boston. In the meantime, Marc-Edouard Vlasic might draw back into the lineup. | None |
| Nov. 22, 2023 | Rutta (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Kraken, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. - Rutta was initially injured in the first period, briefly returned to action and then left for good in the second. The 33-year-old has just one assist over 19 contests for the Sharks this season. If Rutta misses time, Marc-Edouard Vlasic may have a chance to get back in the lineup. | None |
| Nov. 14, 2023 | Rutta logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers. - Rutta got on the scoresheet for the first time this season when he helped out on a Mike Hoffman tally in the first period. The 33-year-old Rutta has added 14 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 10 hits, eight PIM and a minus-11 rating. He's been a regular in the Sharks' lineup, though he's been limited to a bottom-four role. | None |
| Oct. 27, 2023 | Rutta ended up going scoreless in Friday's 3-0 road loss against the Hurricanes. - Rutta had a busy night, posting three shots on goal with a blocked shot and two hits while ending up with a minus-2 rating in 19:40 of ice time. He also logged a team-high 4:24 of penalty kill time. While he won't help fantasy managers in the scoring department very much, he can be useful for blocked shots and hits in deeper pools. | None |
| Sept. 21, 2023 | Rutta (abdomen) skated in Group C at the Sharks' first on-ice practice Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports. - Rutta underwent core muscle surgery in April, but his availability for training camp wasn't in doubt. The 33-year-old blueliner had nine points in 56 outings with the Penguins last year, but he could receive power-play time with the Sharks, who have a lack of established scoring options on defense. | None |
| Aug. 7, 2023 | Rutta (abdomen) "should be" ready for training camp, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. - Rutta underwent core muscle surgery in April, but it shouldn't affect his availability for his first camp as a Shark. San Jose general manager Mike Grier also noted that the 33-year-old blueliner could see some power-play time. Rutta hasn't scored a power-play point since his rookie campaign in 2017-18. | None |
| Aug. 6, 2023 | Rutta (abdomen) was traded to San Jose on Sunday as part of a three-team deal with Pittsburgh and Montreal. - The Sharks also obtained Mikael Granlund and a 2024 first-round pick, which is top-10 protected, from the Penguins as well as Mike Hoffman from the Canadiens. Erik Karlsson, who was the big piece in the trade, was dealt to Pittsburgh. Rutta could be ready for training camp after undergoing core muscle surgery in April. He was initially given an 8-10 week timetable for his recovery. The 33-year-old blueliner accounted for three goals, six assists, 70 blocked shots and 71 hits over 56 games last season. Rutta could occupy a spot on San Jose's second pairing going into the 2023-24 campaign. | None |
| April 20, 2023 | Rutta underwent successful core muscle surgery this week, according to Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. - Rutta will need 8-10 weeks to recover and is expected to be at full strength in time for the start of training camp in September. Rutta missed 26 of the Penguins' last 40 games as he was battling the injury. He ended the season with three goals and nine points in 56 games. | None |

| March 20, 2023 | Rutta was labeled week-to-week Monday due to his lower-body problem. - Rutta's absence, combined with that of Marcus Pettersson (lower body) and Jeff Petry (upper body) will stretch the Penguins' blue-line depth. Even when healthy, Rutta isn't exactly an offensive force considering he has just one point in his previous 11 outings. For now, Mark Friedman and Taylor Fedun will make up the bottom pairing. | None |

He will be replaced in the lineup by Mark Friedman, who is up with the big club on an emergency basis. | None |
| March 16, 2023 | Rutta (undisclosed) will be available for Thursday night's game versus the Rangers, Rob Rossi of The Athletic reports. - Look for Rutta to slot into his usual bottom-pairing role versus New York.

| Feb. 5, 2023 | Rutta (upper body) was working out on the ice before Sunday's practice. - Rutta has missed the last seven games and will miss at least the next three due to his placement on long-term injured reserve.

| Jan. 24, 2023 | Rutta (upper body) is skating but hasn't been cleared to practice with the team, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Tuesday. - Rutta's lack of practice time probably will see him sidelined through the All-Star break, though he hasn't been officially ruled out by the team. Even once cleared to play, the 32-year-old defenseman probably shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value, at best, given his limited offensive upside. | None |
| Jan. 20, 2023 | Rutta (upper body) was put on the injured reserve list Friday, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports. - Rutta hasn't been in the lineup since Saturday because of the injury. He has three goals and eight points in 42 contests in 2022-23. Rutta's injury had previously been regarded as day-to-day, so while him being moved to the injured reserve is discouraging, he might not be unavailable for too long. | None |
| Jan. 17, 2023 | Rutta (upper body) won't travel with the Penguins to Ottawa for Wednesday's game, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports. - It appears as though Rutta will miss at least one more contest after being a late scratch for Monday's contest against Anaheim.

| Jan. 13, 2023 | Rutta posted a secondary assist in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Jets. - Rutta posted a season-low, minus-3 rating in Tuesday's game against the Canucks, but his apple in this latest contest helped him to a neutral rating on a night where opposing netminder David Rittich stood on his head. As a stay-at-home defender, Rutta has just eight points (three goals, five assists) through 41 games. | None |
| Jan. 8, 2023 | Rutta produced an assist, three hits and a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes - Rutta had a solid game all around, which included a helper on Jake Guentzel's game-tying goal in the second period. The assist ended Rutta's point drought at 11 games, and he also went minus-8 in that span. The 32-year-old blueliner is up to seven points, a plus-7 rating, 50 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 48 hits and 22 PIM through 39 contests. He remains more of a defensive player operating in a top-four role. | None |
| Dec. 7, 2022 | Rutta registered three shots, four blocks and one hit against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. - Rutta has been getting shots on net, recording nine shots in his last three contests, but remains stuck in a six-game pointless streak. The 32-year-old Czech isn't exactly known for his offensive production, having reached the 10-point mark in just one of his last four seasons. | None |
| Nov. 11, 2022 | Rutta (upper body) will be in Friday's lineup against Toronto, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. - Rutta was injured Wednesday against Washington but it won't force him to miss any game action. The 32-year-old blueliner has four points and a plus-7 rating while averaging 15:54 of ice time through 13 games in his first season as a Penguin. | None |
| Nov. 9, 2022 | Rutta is being evaluated for an upper-body injury suffered in Wednesday's game versus the Capitals, Taylor Haase of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. - Rutta was hurt in the second period and didn't return to the game. At one point, the Penguins only had three defensemen available, but Jeff Petry was able to return to the contest. Rutta can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game in Toronto. | None |
| Oct. 23, 2022 | Rutta tallied a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets. - Facing a two-goal deficit heading into the second period, Rutta helped his team flip the script. In addition to his apple, the efficient third-pairing defenseman has two goals on five shots, giving him an unsustainable shooting percentage (40.0) in his debut season with the Penguins. | None |
| Oct. 21, 2022 | Rutta scored a goal against Los Angeles on Thursday, his first for the Penguins. - Rutta set a new season high in ice time (18:19) while dishing out three hits and two blocks in addition to his goal. The 32-year-old defenseman has never scored more than six goals in a season over the course of his six-year NHL career, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of him in the offensive end. | None |
| July 13, 2022 | Rutta signed a three-year, $8.25 million contract with the Penguins on Wednesday. - After going to the Stanley Cup Finals in three straight years with the Lightning, Rutta will get a change of scenery. The 31-year-old had 18 points in a career-high 76 contests last season, often drawing first-pairing assignments despite averaging 16:23 of ice time per game. The 31-year-old's role in Pittsburgh has yet to be determined, but he'll likely be a flexible, defense-first blueliner. | None |
| June 24, 2022 | Rutta scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 5. - Rutta is hardly known for his scoring, but he was able to get a long shot past Darcy Kuemper for the opening goal Friday. In 16 playoff appearances this year, Rutta has added four assists, 10 shots on net, 16 hits, eight blocked shots, 17 PIM and a plus-5 rating. The 31-year-old will likely continue to fill a mainly defensive role going forward, so a repeat of Friday's effort is unlikely. | None |
| June 7, 2022 | Rutta picked up a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers. - Rutta assisted on goals from Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos as the Lightning tied the series 2-2.

The 31-year-old defenseman finished the regular season with 18 points (three goals, 15 assists) and a plus-25 rating. | None |
| April 29, 2022 | Rutta (upper body) will be in Friday's lineup against the Islanders, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports. - Despite an earlier report suggesting that Rutta wouldn't be available, he'll be one of seven Lightning defensemen to dress Friday. The 31-year-old will return after a two-game absence. He has 18 points through 75 games this season. | None |
| April 28, 2022 | Rutta (undisclosed) will not be available Thursday against Columbus, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports. - Rutta will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed issue. The 31-year-old has 18 points through 75 games this year. His last chance to suit up before the postseason will be Friday against the Islanders. | None |

Even once cleared to play, the blueliner's lack of offensive upside will limit him to low-end fantasy value. | None |
| April 24, 2022 | Rutta (undisclosed) left Sunday's game against the Panthers and did not return, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports. - Rutta saw just 7:48 of ice time in Sunday's victory. The 31-year-old likely avoided major injury but his status will likely be up in the air until he undergoes more tests. Tampa Bay's next game is Tuesday against Columbus. | None |
| April 15, 2022 | Rutta has three points in his last six games. - He's also put up 11 hits and fired eight shots in that span, but his ice time has dropped game-by-game. Rutta skated 19:52 in the first game and it has dropped to 13:48 on Thursday. He has delivered 11 hits in those six games, so there's some minor value in his fantasy game. | None |
| March 9, 2022 | Rutta tallied an assist in 13:58 of ice time in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Jets. - Rutta has been on a bit of a hot streak by his standards over the past month, having racked up five helpers while posting a plus-4 rating through 10 contests. Still, don't expect the 31-year-old blueliner to crack the scoresheet on a regular basis down the stretch. | None |
| Feb. 11, 2022 | Rutta logged an assist and four blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Coyotes. - Rutta had the secondary helper on Steven Stamkos' tally at 12:18 of the third period. Never one for much offense, Rutta has assists in each of the last two games -- this is the first time all season he's gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive contests. The Czech defenseman is at 11 points, 48 shots on net, 51 hits, 45 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-10 rating in 44 outings overall. | None |
| Feb. 10, 2022 | Rutta notched an assist, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche. - Rutta had been held without a point in his last five outings, and he also missed three games due to an undisclosed injury in that span. The 31-year-old is the more defensive half of a pairing with Victor Hedman. Rutta is at 10 points, 47 shots on net, 50 hits, 41 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-10 rating in 43 contests this season. It's the first time he's reached double-digits in points since the 2017-18 campaign. | None |

| Jan. 25, 2022 | Rutta (undisclosed) participated in Tuesday's practice, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports. - Rutta still remains questionable for Thursday due to his day-to-day status. He has missed the last three Tampa Bay games while dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 31-year-old has averaged 17:05 of ice time and distributed two assists over his last 10 appearances. | None |
| Jan. 21, 2022 | Rutta (undisclosed) won't play Friday against Anaheim, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports. - Rutta will miss a second straight contest Friday and remains without a definite timetable for his return. Another update on the 31-year-old defender, who's picked up nine points through 39 games this season, should surface once he's cleared to play. | None |
| Jan. 18, 2022 | Rutta (undisclosed) is not expected to be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Kings, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports. - Due to injuries and salary cap concerns, the Lightning are only able to dress four defensemen for the contest. The nature of Rutta's injury is unknown at this time, though the team will likely call up defensemen from the taxi squad or AHL Syracuse if no one is able to return Friday versus the Ducks. | None |
| Jan. 1, 2022 | Rutta has one point in his last 14 games. - The lack of offense isn't surprising -- Rutta isn't known for those skills. He does continue to provide modest totals in secondary categories (15 each, hits and blocks) in that same span. Rutta is best left on the wire in virtually all formats, as he's a better on-ice guy than a fantasy play. | None |
| Nov. 26, 2021 | Rutta produced an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 3-0 win over the Kraken. - Rutta set up Ross Colton for a second-period tally. The 31-year-old Rutta has put up modest offense with six points and 22 shots on net in 18 contests. He's added 18 blocked shots, 17 hits and 14 PIM while often pairing with Victor Hedman at even strength. Rutta's a more defensive player, but he can make for a solid budget option in DFS in the right matchups. | None |
| Nov. 21, 2021 | Rutta scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils. - The veteran blueliner put together his first multi-point effort in the NHL in over three years, but it went to waste as the Bolts squandered a third-period lead. Rutta has two goals and five points through 15 games, putting him on pace for a career-best season -- not a high bar to clear considering his best season is a 20-point effort in 2017-18. | None |

| 2024-03-27 | analysis | This was Rutta's fourth game back from a lower-body injury.

| 2024-03-12 | analysis | Rutta isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse but with 16 points in 56 games this season, the blueliner could reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since his rookie season with Chicago back in 2017-18. Even once cleared to play, Rutta should reclaim a spot in the lineup, perhaps at the expense of Jacob MacDonald. | |

| 2024-03-06 | analysis | This was Rutta's third helper in the last six contests. The 33-year-old blueliner has been solid in a top-four role lately, though his offense remains modest at best. He's up to 15 points, 54 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 58 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 55 outings overall. Rutta's likely to maintain his current role, but his fantasy value is limited to deeper formats. | |

| 2024-03-03 | analysis | Rutta has two helpers and 10 blocked shots over his last four games. The 33-year-old defenseman continues to see significant minutes in a top-four role, but mostly as a defense-first presence.

| 2024-03-03 | update | Rutta posted an assist, four blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars. | |
| 2024-02-25 | analysis | Rutta snapped a five-game point drought when he set up Filip Zadina's third-period tally. The 33-year-old Rutta has been solid in a top-four role this season, picking up 13 points, 48 shots on net, 54 hits, 78 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 50 appearances. His offense isn't high enough to carry much value in standard fantasy formats. | |

| 2024-01-31 | analysis | Rutta's point streak is at five games (three goals, three assists) after he added the insurance tally Tuesday.

| 2024-01-24 | analysis | Rutta is warm right now, earning four points over the last three games, all wins for the Sharks. He played a key role Tuesday, setting up Ryan Carpenter for the game-tying goal in the third period and Tomas Hertl for the game-winner in overtime.

| 2023-12-24 | analysis | Rutta has five helpers over nine appearances in December. The 33-year-old has been a steady presence in a top-four role when healthy this season, but he doesn't add much offense. Rutta's at six assists, 29 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 28 appearances. | |
