Bryan Rust Out Week-To-Week
1 year agoPittsburgh Penguins winger Bryan Rust (upper body) is out week-to-week with an upper-body injury suffered against the Tampa Bay Lightning last Wednesday. This is a tough one for the Penguins and Rust, who have been struggling recently and are already shorthanded up front. It'll be difficult to replace Rust's production, as the winger has 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 20 games this season. Drew O'Connor will likely stay in Rust's spot as a member of the first line, while Kris Letang will take over his spot on the top powerplay unit.
