Rust collected an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 shootout victory over the Devils.

Rust is strong on the forecheck but hasn't maintained any kind of offensive consistency thus far in his fledging NHL career. With points in his last two games, the forward has three goals and three assists in 19 contests.
