Rust scored late in the third period and took two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-0 against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Rust capitalized on the empty net with two minutes to go in the contest. The 32-year-old right winger's late tally was his 20th goal of the season and first in the past two weeks. Rust is up to 40 points and 120 shots on goal in 46 appearances this campaign. While his offensive output had slowed over the past few games, Saturday's tally is an encouraging sign going forward. Playing alongside Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell on Pittsburgh's top line, Rust is a safe play in fantasy.
