Rust (lower body) will be in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
EDGE Analysis
With his lower-body injury behind him, Rust figures to return to a first-line role alongside Sidney Crosby in addition to linking back up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Since the start of December, the 33-year-old Rust has tallied nine goals and nine helpers, including eight power-play points, over 18 games. Given his offensive upside and a spot playing with Crosby, Rust figures to offer top-end fantasy value the rest of the way.

EDGE Analysis
Rust remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. It's unclear if he will be ready for Tuesday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

Rust had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Rust had five shots, the same number of shots he had in his previous three games. He's on a six-game, eight-point scoring streak that includes three goals and five assists. He also has two power-play assists in that span. Rust has 16 goals, 20 assists, 16 power-play points and 98 shots on net in 38 games. He is on pace to deliver new career highs offensively. That is, if Rust can stay healthy. He played 81 games in 2022-23 and 60 in the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign, but has seen time on the IR in every other year. Rust had 65 points (31 goals, 34 assists) in 71 games during the 2024-25 regular season.

EDGE Analysis
Rust has three goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. He's gotten on the scoresheet in eight of the last 10 contests, with four multi-point outings to his name in that span. The 33-year-old winger continues to thrive on the top line and first power-play unit, earning 34 points (16 with the man advantage), 91 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 36 appearances this season.

Rust scored twice, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Rust picked up his first multi-point effort since Dec. 13 versus the Sharks. The 33-year-old winger netted both of his goals in the first period as the Penguins jumped out to a 4-0 lead after 20 minutes. Rust is up to 15 goals, 32 points, 90 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 35 appearances this season. He should continue to be one of the Penguins' most productive forwards as he aims to top the career-best 31-goal, 65-point campaign he had in 2024-25.

Rust scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Rust is riding his longest goal streak of the season at four games, and the 33-year-old has been getting more and more involved offensively of late. He has posted multiple shots on goal in five straight outings, and with Rust averaging 4.4 shots per game in that stretch, it's not surprising to see him score four times. Rust has 12 goals and 28 points in 30 games this season, and he's cementing his place as one of the Penguins' most reliable forces on offense.
