EDGE Analysis

Rust and Tom Kuhnhackl were both recalled by the Penguins on Thursday, an apparent attempt by the team to create an offensive spark by shaking up their depth at forward. Rust has tallied six shots on goal in five games with the Penguins this season, and will likely slot in as a bottom-six forward if he's able to crack Pittsburgh's lineup.
