Skate report: Ruhwedel, Pettersson out of COVID protocol, back on the ice

CHICAGO -- The Penguins finally got some good news when it comes to the roster's COVID situation.

Marcus Pettersson and Chad Ruhwedel were both cleared from COVID protocol and were back on the ice, skating on their own in Cranberry while the rest of the team is in Chicago.

Both Pettersson and Ruhwedel went through what Todd Reirden called "the final stage" of protocol this morning, which included cardiac screening.

Pettersson and Ruhwedel both previously tested positive on Nov. 2 and had developed symptoms. There is no expected timeline yet for their return.
