Coach Mike Johnston said he should have a timeline for Rust's return in the "next day of two."

EDGE Analysis

"It's not going to be day-to-day," Johnston said Sunday. Rust has provided energy with his speed and jumped ahead of other fourth liners such as Bobby Farnham (who was put on waivers Sunday). The forward collected 27 points in 45 games for AHL WIlkes-Barre but has two points in 19 NHL tilts. While he probably won't help many fantasy teams, he does provide Pittsburgh with a fast skater who does well possessing the puck.
