EDGE Analysis

With Sidney Crosby firing on all cylinders and posting a hat trick and a four-point night, Rust was able to ride his coattails to his second straight multi-point performance and fifth in his last six games, although that stretch was interrupted by a stint in the COVID-19 protocols. On the season, Rust is up to nine goals and 24 points in only 18 games.
