Active in draw Rusnak took four shots (one on goal) and created two chances from four crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's scoreless draw with Houston.
Impact Rusnak hasn't gone more than a single game without a goal or assist over his last nine starts, and his base production is still enough to make him valuable without finding the net or setting up someone else. That being said, he'll next face the LA Galaxy, against which he scored in a 2-2 draw three games ago.

Shows very little huge win Rusnak assisted once, produced one shot (none on target), sent one cross (none accurate), took one corner and made one tackle (none won) in the 3-0 win against Colorado on Saturday...
Impact Rusnak was invisible for the majority of the match Saturday. The midfielder slotted into his typical position at attacking mid, but he did not support the offense or create much either. Luckily he was able to pick up another assist on the season to balance out his lack of production. Nevertheless, this performance seems more of an outlier than anything else and he should bounce back at Houston next week.

Sends seven crosses versus LAFC Rusnak had seven crosses (one accurate), six corners and 33 passes completed in Saturday's 2-1 loss to LAFC.
Impact Rusnak had an overall quiet statistical night as most of his numbers came from his usual corners and he added very little otherwise. The winger though has been on fire of late with two goals and two assists over his previous five outings while adding a ton more in shots, chances created and crosses and should remain an appealing option in most formats.

The next game against a tough defense in Seattle will be a good test to see if that happens.
