  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Sinks empty netter

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

    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.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Back in lineup

    Rust (lower body) took the ice for pregame warm-ups, which indicates he'll be in the lineup Monday in San Jose, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Game-time call Monday

    Rust (lower body) will be a game-time decision against San Jose on Monday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

    Rust skated on the top line during Monday's morning session, which is an encouraging sign after he missed Saturday's 4-1 loss to Seattle. The 32-year-old forward has 19 goals, 38 points, 111 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 39 hits across 43 appearances this season. If Rust and Blake Lizotte (illness) remain out, Jesse Puljujarvi could play against the Sharks.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Out Saturday

    Rust (lower body) won't play Saturday against Seattle, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

    Rust will miss at least one game after suffering the injury in Thursday's loss to Anaheim. The 32-year-old winger has 19 goals and 38 points through 43 games this season. After being recalled from the minors before Saturday's game, Bokondji Imama could slot into the lineup in Rust's absence.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Considered day-to-day

    Rust (lower body) is considered day-to-day, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports Friday.

    Rust exited Thursday's 5-1 loss to Anaheim due to his injury. He has 19 goals and 38 points over 43 appearances in 2024-25. If he can't play Saturday versus Seattle, then Anthony Beauvillier might shift into the top six. Blake Lizotte's (illness) status for Saturday's game is also unclear, but if Lizotte and Rust are both unavailable, then that would leave Pittsburgh with just 11 healthy forwards, so the Penguins might call a player up from the minors.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Sustains lower-body injury

    Rust (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Ducks.

    Rust had a power-play assist in the contest prior to his exit. He did not come out of the locker room at the start of the third period. Rust has been a top-six fixture for the Penguins with 38 points (nine on the power play) over 43 appearances. If he misses time beyond Thursday, Blake Lizotte (illness) could rejoin the lineup, but it'll be tough for any one player to replace Rust's production.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Scores against Washington

    Rust scored the Penguins' lone goal during a 4-1 loss to the Capitals on Saturday while logging two shots and a minus-1 rating.

    Rust toe dragged the puck past a sliding John Carlson and put it in the back of the net midway through the third period, which prevented Logan Thompson from registering his third straight shutout. That goal extended Rust's point streak to four games, and he has registered four goals, six assists, 20 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through nine appearances since Jan. 1.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Helps out on power play

    Rust posted a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Panthers.

    Rust snapped a three-game point drought with his helper. The winger is minus-7 over his last four contests, and the drop in offense is an unfortunate turn after his hot December prior to the holiday break. Rust is now at 15 goals, 13 helpers, six power-play points, 94 shots on net, 33 hits and a minus-20 rating through 33 appearances in a top-six role.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Feeling hot, hot, hot

    Rust had a goal and an assist Monday in a 7-3 win over Philadelphia.

    Rust scored on the Penguins' first shot of the game, wiring a one-timer past Samuel Ersson from just above the right face-off circle. He's approaching a point-per-game pace right now (27 in 29 games) on the back of a recent 13-game, 19-point run that includes 10 goals. He's put up points in nine of those 13 games. Rust's role on Sidney Crosby's wing makes him a must-play option in all formats.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Another four-point game

    Rust scored twice and added two assists in a 5-4 overtime win over the Predators on Thursday.

    He won it with a wrist shot from the high slot 1:07 into overtime. It's Rust's second four-point game in his last four games, and he has 17 points (nine goals, eight assists) and 37 shots in his last 11 games. Rust is just seven points from hitting 400 in his career. He'll summit that peak soon, and at this rate, he could smash his 58-point career high (2021-22).
