Dealing with lower-body injury Rust is being evaluated for a lower-body injury, according to Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site.
Impact It's unclear at this time if Rust will be available to play Wednesday versus the Rangers. He has compiled nine goals, 16 points, 55 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 10 hits through 17 contests this campaign. With Rickard Rakell (upper body) dealing with a long-term injury, Pittsburgh may have to replace two top-six wingers. Per Crechiolo, Vinnie Hinostroza, Jansen Harkins and Alexander Nylander are viewed as the main candidates to earn promotions in the lineup.

The Pittsburgh Penguins visit the Carolina Hurricanes after Bryan Rust scored two goals in the Penguins' 5-2 loss to the New Jersey DevilsNOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
On career pace Rust scored two goals Thursday in 5-2 loss to the Devils.
Impact Rust was at the center of the Pens' offense Thursday night. He scored the game's opening goal early in the first with a backhander that fooled Devils' starter Vitek Vanecek. Then Rust tipped in a shot early in the second to give the Pens a 2-1 lead. The 31-year-old's best season came in 2021-22 when he potted 58 points (24 goals, 34 assists). But he's currently charging forward on a career year with nine goals, six assists and 50 shots in 15 games.

Impact Rust had one tally in overtime overturned, but he came right back to score the goal that secured the Penguins' third straight win. The winger has five points over his last three games, and he's up to seven tallies, 12 points, 39 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 12 contests overall. Rust should continue to put up solid scoring numbers if he remains on a line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel.

Impact Rust did all of his damage at even strength in an impressive win. The 31-year-old had produced a goal and two helpers over his previous four games combined. The winger is up to six tallies, six helpers, 33 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 10 contests this season. He's been locked in on the top line, and he should remain productive as long as he doesn't leave Sidney Crosby's side.

Finds twine Rust scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Rust's third-period marker got the Penguins within a goal, but they couldn't find an equalizer. He's up to four goals in as many games this season, though he's yet to provide an assist. The 31-year-old winger also has 12 shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. Rust is playing on the top line alongside Sidney Crosby, and he should be able to sustain strong offense as long as he's in that spot.

Scores opening goal Rust scored a goal on five shots in the season opener against the Blackhawks on Tuesday.
Impact Rust has hit the 20-goal threshold in four consecutive seasons and has already opened his account for the 2023-24 campaign. With the addition of Reilly Smith, the 31-year-old Rust is set to begin the year on the top line with Sidney Crosby but could easily shift down to the second line with Evgeni Malkin or even try to carry the offense for the third line. Regardless, the Michigan native should be able to extend his streak of 20-goal seasons this year.

Scoring streak continues Rust scored a goal on three shots versus New Jersey on Tuesday.
Impact Rust scored just one time in the month of March but has rediscovered his offense with goals in three straight games to kick off April. Despite the Michigan native finding the back of the night, the Penguins lost 5-1 to the Devils and seem in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2005-06. Still, if Rust can keep tickling the twine, he should at least give Pittsburgh a chance.

Impact The 30-year-old carried the load for the Penguins, finding the back of the net in the first and third periods before helping to set up Jake Guentzel midway through the third to tie the score at 3-3.
