Rust (undisclosed) is traveling with the team ahead of Wednesday's Game 3 in Ottawa and has been labeled day-to-day after receiving an evaluation from team doctors, Jerry DiPaola of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's certainly a positive that Rust is able to travel with the team after departing Monday's contest with his injury, there's no guarantee that he'll be able to suit up for the crucial Game 3. If he isn't able to go, Tom Kuhnhackl could draw into the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch for the last three games.
