Rust was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday, Shelly Anderson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Rust is expected to join the lineup Saturday in place of Jayson Megna, who was reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in a corresponding move. After potting a team-leading 10 goals for the AHL squad, Rust could get the opportunity to flank Evgeni Malkin on the team's second line Saturday. However, once Sidney Crosby (illness) or one of the team's other injured forwards returns to the lineup, Rust would seem most vulnerable at losing a spot in the team's top six.
