EDGE Analysis

Rust couldn't lace up the skates for the team's last two contests, but will return to action in a pivotal Game 5 matchup in Pittsburgh. The 25-year-old winger has gone quiet in the last couple series, totaling just one point in nine games between the Capitals and Senators, but he did notch five points in five games during the team's first-round matchup against the Blue Jackets.
