Rust was recalled by the Penguins on Sunday, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rust was reassigned to the AHL club in late November after failing to record a point in five games with the Penguins, but he will now rejoin the parent club. The move comes on the heels of news that star forward Sidney Crosby is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, so he'll give the club some depth among the ranks.
