Rust (arm) did not travel with the team for their two-game road trip, Sam Werner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rust has already missed the Pens' last seven games and is now going to be sidelined for two more. The 24-year-old was having a solid sophomore campaign playing alongside the likes of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin -- 25 points in 50 outings -- and while he wasn't providing top-end fantasy value, he was worth a look as a mid-range option. With the emergence of Jake Guentzel, it is unclear where Rusty will fit in once healthy, but it would seem unlikely coach Mike Sullivan won't try to find a spot for the speedy winger.
