Beginning 2025-26 on IR Rust (lower body) was put on injured reserve Monday, according to PuckPedia.

Impact Rust suffered a lower-body injury at Wednesday's practice, and it was announced by the Penguins on Thursday that Rust will be sidelined for at least two weeks. While he's on the shelf, Ville Koivunen might get the nod on the top line alongside Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell to start the 2025-26 campaign.

Slated to miss at least two weeks The Penguins announced Thursday that Rust will miss a minimum of two weeks due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Rust departed Wednesday's practice session early, and his exit was apparently due to his injury that will force him to miss multiple weeks. The 33-year-old will be unavailable for at least the first week of the regular season, and he'll presumably be re-evaluated around the end of his two-week return timetable. Rust made 71 regular-season appearances for Pittsburgh last year and racked up 31 goals, 34 assists, 62 hits, 54 blocked shots and 18 PIM while averaging 19:45 of ice time.
