Rust recorded two assists in a 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rust's two helpers came on Pittsburgh power plays. He has nine goals and 23 points in 35 contests this season, including seven power-play points. He only averaged 0:16 of ice time with the man advantage in three games from Dec. 20-27, and the 30-year-old was limited to 0:37 vs. the Red Wings. Despite that, Rust has managed to record three power-play points over that four-game span.

Rust picked up an assist against the Stars on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rust has eight points in his last five contests, a strong rebound from a previous six-game pointless streak. While coach Mike Sullivan has periodically shifted Rust between the top two lines, he is firmly cemented as a top-six scorer for the Penguins and should be capable of reaching the 50-point threshold for the third time in four seasons.

Rust scored a goal and registered an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win against Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
It was Rust's second straight multi-point game, giving him seven goals and 16 points in 26 contests this season. Even with his recent success, Rust's scoring pace is well below 2021-22 when he finished with 24 goals and 58 points in 60 games. The 30-year-old is trending in the right direction though, and it wouldn't be surprising to see his overall scoring pace continue to increase.

Rust had a goal and three assists in a 6-2 win over the Blues on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was a feat of strength. Rust took the puck away from Brandon Saad along the wall and drove to the slot where he fired a snap shot. The point explosion was a welcome sight for Rust, who had just two points (one goal, one assist) in his previous 14 games.

Rust generated a game-high six shots during a 3-2 loss to the Kraken on Saturday
EDGE Analysis
Rust accomplished a rare feat Saturday. Rust's scoring attempt at 12:34 of the first period hit the crossbar and then the post before bouncing away from the net. The on-ice officials paused play to review the shot, but the game remained scoreless, and the 30-year-old right winger remained in a mini-funk, producing just two points in his last seven outings.
