The Pittsburgh Penguins traded defenseman Chad Ruhwedel to the New York Rangers for a 2027 fourth-round pick, the teams announced Friday.
Ruhwedel projects to serve as New York's No. 7 defenseman.
The 33-year-old has managed just four points in 47 games this season while averaging 12:33 per contest. He shoots right and clocks in at 5-foot-11 and 191 pounds.
Ruhwedel has 25 games of playoff experience and suited up for six postseason contests during Pittsburgh's 2017 Stanley Cup win.
