Rust signed a two-year, one-way contract extension with the Penguins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Rust has turned it on recently, as he's tallied four points in his last five contests. The 23-year-old has missed only one game since being recalled in early January and has logged a considerable number of minutes for Pittsburgh. In March alone, the winger is averaging 13:49 of ice time, over a minute more than his season average. While his fantasy value is limited due to his absence from the power play, Rust plays with speed and determination, something that can't be overlooked on the ice.
