Rust had a goal, two assists, two PIM, two shots on goal, a hit, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.

He's cracked the scoresheet three times over his last four contests, tallying one goal and four assists in that stretch.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Earns assist Sunday
Rust managed an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Rust has a helper in back-to-back contests after going three games without a point. The 32-year-old winger started the year cold amid a couple of injury concerns, but he was excellent between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Rust is at 15 goals, 14 assists, 95 shots on net, 33 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-20 rating through 34 contests overall.

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.

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).

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Finds twine Saturday
Rust scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
Rust has three points, 12 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over five games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The winger is at five goals, two assists, 36 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 13 contests this season. His offense should increase, but the Penguins' poor play defensively and in goal could lead to some ugly peripheral stats for the 32-year-old.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Scores in overtime loss
Rust scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
Rust has two points and nine shots on net over three contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. He's played primarily on the second line in that span, though the Penguins' forward trios have been in a blender at times this season. Rust is up to four goals, six points, 33 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-8 rating over 11 appearances.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Nabs helper in return
Rust posted an assist, five shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
Rust's return from a five-game absence due to a lower-body injury didn't create immediate waves in the Penguins' lineup. He started the game on the second line, but head coach Mike Sullivan did play with his combinations during the contest. Rust is up to five points, 29 shots on net, nine hits, six blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through nine outings this season. He's already had two injury absences, so staying healthy will be paramount to his productivity the rest of the way.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Set to play Friday
Rust (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site, which sets the stage for him to play in this evening's game against Washington.
Rust, who has missed Pittsburgh's past five games, has three goals and four points in eight outings in 2024-25. He'll likely serve in a top-six capacity in his return, perhaps on the top line alongside Sidney Crosby. If Rust does play with Crosby, then Evgeni Malkin will shift to the second unit.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Cleared for contact
Rust (lower body) was a full practice participant Wednesday and could return during the Penguins' road trip, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Rust is traveling with the team on its three-game road trip but wasn't in action versus the Islanders on Tuesday. He'll have two more opportunities to suit up as the Pens face the Hurricanes and Capitals on Thursday and Friday, respectively. If Rust does rejoin the lineup, it figures to be in a top-six role and could spur head coach Mike Sullivan into breaking up Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin from the top line.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Joining road trip
Rust (lower body) will be with the Penguins for their three-game road trip, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports Monday.
Considering Rust didn't practice with the team Monday, he probably shouldn't be expected to play versus the Islanders on Tuesday. Still, the 32-year-old winger's presence on the trip could see him back in action sooner rather than later. As long as Evgeni Malkin keeps playing on the wing with Sidney Crosby, Rust's return likely won't be in a first-line role, though he could replace Cody Glass on the second trio.

Rust sustained the injury in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Vancouver. He has supplied three goals, one assist, 24 shots on net, six blocked shots and eight hits across eight outings this season.
