Rust left Monday's Game 2 victory over the Senators with an undisclosed injury in the first period. Head coach Mike Sullivan did not have an update on his status after the game, according to Wes Crosby of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Rust was absolutely leveled by Sens blueliner Dion Phaneuf and departed the contest after just three shifts and 1:43 of ice time. It's unclear at this point as to the specific nature or severity of Rust's injury, so those making use of him for fantasy purposes should look for other options, if possible, until the team releases further information on his status. The puck drops on Game 3 -- this time in Ottawa -- on Wednesday.
