Rust (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game versus the Sharks, Josh Getzoff of PensTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rust was initially targeting a Friday return, but that game against the Senators was postponed due to travel restrictions. The 29-year-old Rust will likely take on a top-six role once he's cleared to play, though he'll need to be officially activated from injured reserve prior to his return.
