Rust exited Monday's Game 3 against Washington with an undisclosed injury, Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rust attempted to block a shot when he suffered the injury, spending just 19 total seconds on the ice. Beau Bennett or Oskar Sundqvist are likely candidates to take over for Rust if he's unable to play in Game 4 on Wednesday.

Rust scored twice during a four-goal burst by the Penguins in the second period of Saturday's Game 5 series clincher over the Rangers. He also added an assist.
EDGE Analysis
Rust played so well he got some time alongside Evgeni Malkin. Rust has delivered a three-point game one other time in his career, but he'd never scored twice in a game in his young career.

Rust (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday for Game 2 against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The fleet-footed Rust will be inserted on the second line opposite Conor Sheary, and Evgeni Malkin, who's making his highly anticipated return from an upper-body injury, will reclaim his spot down the middle.

Rust (lower body) practiced yesterday, but is likely to be scratched for Game 2 on Saturday, a href="http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/10308764-74/malkin-sullivan-game">Bill West of Triblive reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's never beneficial to have a player on injured reserve during the postseason. The Pens are anticipating Rust's return as he hasn't hit game ice since March 30. Despite his speed and physical style of play, the 23-year-old right winger has tallied just 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 41 appearances this season, giving him little fantasy value.

Rust (lower body) is unlikely to suit up against New York on Wednesday after missing the team's morning skate.
EDGE Analysis
Rust's absence from the depth chart could affect the outcome of the game given his speed and determination, but should have a minimal impact on your daily lineups as the winger has just four goals and seven assists in 41 contests. Even if the is healthy for Saturday, it remains to be seen if the 23-year-old will slot back in.

Rust (lower body) won't play in the Pens' final two games of the regular season.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy winger has scored four goals and 11 points in 41 games. Though his fantasy value is limited, he keeps opponents on its heels with his blazing speed.

Rust (lower body) is not close to returning to the lineup. "He's not there yet, he's still in a similar circumstance," coach Mike Sullivan said Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy winger had points in just two of his last nine games but helps spreads the defense with his speed. It sounds as though he may miss the rest of the regular season, given that only four games remain after Saturday.

Rust is day-to-day after suffering a lower-body injury Tuesday and will not suit up for Thursday's matchup with Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Rust may not be the most prolific scorer, but his speed and determination on the Penguins' third line has been crucial to the team's recent surge. Averaging just 12:30 of ice time per game and 12 PIM, the winger has limited fantasy value. As such, an extended absence should have little impact on your fantasy lineups.

Rust bagged a goal and an assist in Sunday's win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Rust also finished with a plus-3 rating in the contest, rounding out a highly productive outing. The 23-year-old has tallied six points in his last eight games, but that kind of consistent production may be hard to maintain for the bottom-six forward.
