EDGE Analysis

Rust made his presence felt on both ends of the ice; he also tied a season high with three hits. The 29-year-old has reaped the benefits of playing alongside the red-hot Sidney Crosby on the top line of late, as Rust has racked up two goals and six assists of his own during Crosby's ongoing seven-game point streak.
