Gruden posted three assists in AHL Utica's 7-4 win over Rochester on Sunday.

Gruden has 14 points across 41 appearances this season after his first multi-point effort in 2025-26. He had just 18 points in 60 regular-season contests between Utica and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2024-25. The 25-year-old forward hasn't been consistent enough on offense to earn an extended NHL look since his 13-game stint with the Penguins in 2023-24.
