Bryan Rust Considered Week-To-Week
Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Bryan Rust (upper body) is considered week-to-week. He stayed home at the start of the week as Pittsburgh began a four-game road trip, and it's possible these will not end up as being the only games Rust misses.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (foot) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers.
