Rust recorded two assists in Thursday's 6-0 rout of the Habs.

EDGE Analysis

While Rust may be bogged down in an eight-game goal drought dating back to the season opener against Tamba Bay on Oct. 12, he has picked up six helpers over that stretch, including one with the man advantage. With the return of Sidney Crosby, the 29-year-old Rust should find the back of the net sooner rather than later, especially considering he managed eight shots in his last three contests.
