Bryan Rust Stays Behind As Penguins Start Road Trip
10 months agoPittsburgh Penguins right wing Bryan Rust (upper body) isn't with the squad as the team kicks off a four-game road trip on Tuesday in Vancouver. He suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's contest against Philadelphia. Rust had an impressive three-point game against the Flyers and moved to third on the team's goals list with 18 markers. He's also had the same amount of assists in 42 games this season. Reilly Smith, who boasts 24 points (10 goals, 14 assists) through 49 appearances, will get the first crack at replacing Rust after practicing on the first line on Monday. Valtteri Puustinen will take over Rust's spot on the first power-play unit.
