Rust didn't return to Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets after sustaining a lower-body injury, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
He left the game in the first period and didn't return, but this clears up the nature of Rust's condition. The Penguins now only have 11 healthy forwards on the roster, so they'll need to dip into their AHL affiliate if Rust can't play Friday versus the Sabres.

Rust (undisclosed) left Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets after a collision with Adam McQuaid and didn't return for the second period, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rust went immediately to the dressing room after this hit. If the 26-year-old winger can't return for this outing, he'll look to get healthy for Friday's game versus the Sabres.

Rust scored his 17th goal of the year in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Rust's goal gave the Penguins their first lead of the game in the second period, with an assist from left wing Jake Guentzel. He extends his career high in tallies and now has 31 points in 59 games. Rust is currently on Sidney Crosby's line, providing a boost to his value, although skating with Evgeni Malkin as he has at times this season is nothing to sneeze at.

Rust scored two goals on four shots in a 5-3 victory against the Senators on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old had a hard time scoring early in the season, but Rust is now just a goal shy of a career high. Starting with his hat trick against the Blackhawks on Dec. 12, Rust has 13 goals and 19 points in the last 21 games. He had one goals in the first 29 contests. With 14 goals and 26 points in 50 games this season, Rust not only has a chance to post a career high in goals but also in points.

Rust garnered an assist versus the Lightning on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Rust has tallied 12 goals and 12 assists in 49 contests this season, primarily serving in a top-six role. The winger needs just four more goals to set a new career high and could top his 38-point mark from last season.

Rust tickled the twine and fired five shots on goal in Monday's loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Rust isn't working with Sidney Crosby at the moment, but placement on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel's line is hardly a demotion. He recorded his first goal after failing to light the lamp in five straight games, and Rust now has 12 goals and 23 points in 48 games.

Rust (lower body) will return to action Wednesday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Rust will return to a prominent role Wednesday, skating with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel on the Penguins' top line. The 26-year-old American has been a solid secondary scorer for Pittsburgh this season, notching nine goals and 18 points in 38 appearances.

Rust (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup with the Rangers, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rust was in attendance at Wednesday's game-day skate and took rushes alongside Sidney Crosby, per Sam Kasan of Pens Inside Scoop, which means his designation as a game-time call is probably just a formality. While all signs point to Rust suiting up, fantasy owners will likely have to wait until warm-ups for final confirmation of his status. Prior to getting hurt, the winger racked up eight goals in his previous nine games and was clearly benefiting from playing with Sid the Kid.

Rust (lower body) will sit out Monday's road game versus the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Rust was injured in the Pens last game, a 6-1 win over the Blues on Saturday. He'll miss the first game of their mini two-game road trip but hopefully won't miss much time beyond that. Rust's next opportunity to play after tonight comes Wednesday in New York versus the Rangers.

Rust scored twice in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Rust is loving life on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel, the latter of whom assisted on both of Rust's goals in this one. Eight of Rust's nine goals this season have come in the past six games, as he's gone from fantasy non-factor to major contributor in the blink of an eye.
