Rust (arm) will return to action for Friday's matchup with the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Rust makes his long-awaited return to the lineup and is slated to skate on Pittsburgh's second line alongside Phil Kessel and Matt Cullen. Despite averaging just 13:26 of ice time this season, Rust has managed a very respectable 25 points, a number he'll be looking to expand on Friday after missing the last 20 games.
