Rust (head) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's Game 2 matchup with the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Rust, who left Game 1 after a hit to the head by Patrick Marleau, has been a goal scoring machine as he has put four pucks into the back of the net in his last three outings. If he is unable to go, the speedy winger will likely be replaced by the oft-injured Beau Bennett. Centered by Evgeni Malkin, the 24-year-old has grown exponentially in the postseason, including scoring six playoff goals compared to just four in the regular season.
