Bryan Rust (lower body) will be with the Pittsburgh 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.
