Ruzicka would certainly add more skill to the 4th even if he was deployed along the wing, which Sutter will most certainly do initially with a raw player if he does get into the lineup at all.

I think that is the point. Richardson is bringing it right now. We can rest him later
Pitlick could use a night off. He’s trying but hasn’t been great.
Put Ruzicka in for him and if he plays well then pitlick can sub back after a game or 2 if someone else needs to sit
Lewis Richardson and lucic have been great of late so can’t see why they sit. Later maybe they aren’t great and sit a game or have a nagging injury and need a days rest. Right now that is not the case and pitlick is the top candidate to sit and maybe the only one right now who deserves a night off
