Rust (lower body) will be in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
EDGE Analysis
With his lower-body injury behind him, Rust figures to return to a first-line role alongside Sidney Crosby in addition to linking back up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Since the start of December, the 33-year-old Rust has tallied nine goals and nine helpers, including eight power-play points, over 18 games. Given his offensive upside and a spot playing with Crosby, Rust figures to offer top-end fantasy value the rest of the way.
