Rust (lower body) took part in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he'll be in the lineup for Wednesday's Game 4 against Washington, NHL.com's Dan Rosen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rust will slide into Eric Fehr's (undisclosed) spot in Pittsburgh's lineup Wednesday, skating alongside Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz on the Penguins' third line. The speedy winger could make for an interesting play in daily contests Wednesday despite his bottom-six role in the lineup, as skating on a line with Malkin should dramatically improve his chances of contributing offensively against the Capitals.
