Top Bryan Rust News

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: One of each Sunday

    Rust tallied a goal on three shots, recorded an assist and served six PIM in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

    Rust tallied the Penguins' lone goal of the third period to place his team up 5-1. Overall, the 33-year-old winger is up to 28 goals, 64 points, 181 shots on net, 33 hits and 70 blocked shots across 70 games this season. Since March 10, he has been a highly effective scorer with seven goals and 18 points over his last 14 games. He has five multi-point outings in that span and should continue to provide excellent fantasy value in most league formats while skating on Pittsburgh's top line.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Manages helper in return

    Rust posted an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.

    Rust missed one game due to a lower-body injury. He was a late scratch after warmups Tuesday versus the Red Wings. It's unclear if this is an issue Rust will have to manage for the rest of the campaign, but he'll want to be in the lineup to help the Penguins push for a playoff spot. He's earned 16 points over his last 12 outings and is up to 62 points (24 on the power play), 177 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 68 appearances.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Returning Thursday

    Rust (lower body) will be in the lineup against the Lightning on Thursday, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

    Rust missed one game due to his lower-body injury but will rejoin the lineup for Thursday's tilt. Prior to his absence, the veteran winger was in the midst of a hot streak in which he logged points in 10 of his last 11 outings while racking up six goals and nine helpers. With Rust back in action, he figures to return to both the first line and No. 1 power-play unit.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Late scratch Tuesday

    Rust (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Red Wings.

    Rust was in the initial lineup, but he was ruled out just before puck drop. The 33-year-old will be replaced by Avery Hayes in the lineup Tuesday. Rust's next chance to play is Thursday against the Lightning.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Two-point effort against Isles

    Rust scored an even-strength goal and added a shorthanded assist in Monday's 8-3 rout of the Islanders.

    After helping to set up Rickard Rakell for a second-period tally, Rust wrapped up the scoring late in the third after David Rittich had replaced Ilya Sorokin in the Isles' crease. Rust is roaring into April, getting onto the scoresheet in 10 of the last 11 games while racking up six goals and 15 points. Monday's performance put the veteran winger over the 60-point mark for the second straight season.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Six-game, 10-point scoring streak

    Rust delivered two assists in a 5-4 shootout win over Winnipeg on Saturday.

    Rust is on a six-game, 10-point (five goals, five assists) scoring streak that includes three power-play goals and 17 shots. He now has put up points in 11 of his last 12 games (seven goals, nine assists). Overall, Rust has 56 points (26 goals, 30 assists; 162 shots) in 62 games this season. He has put up at least 56 points in each of his last three seasons and in five of his last seven.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Pots goal in overtime loss

    Rust scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

    Rust has earned five goals and three assists during his five-game point streak. The 33-year-old winger should benefit from the return of Sidney Crosby, who had been out with a lower-body injury prior to Wednesday. Rust is now at 26 goals, 54 points, 158 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 61 appearances in a top-line role.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Extends point streak Monday

    Rust scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Rust pushed his point streak to four games, notching four goals and three assists over that span while also adding eight shots and two blocked shots. There's a strong argument to say Rust has been the Penguins' best player since the league resumed following the Olympics. The 33-year-old has notched 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in his 13 appearances since the regular season resumed.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Tallies on power play

    Rust scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.

    Rust has three goals and two assists over his last three games, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in eight of the last nine contests. The 33-year-old is picking up the pace while the Penguins are missing Sidney Crosby (lower body), Evgeni Malkin (suspension) and Justin Brazeau (upper body). Rust now has 51 points this season, including a career-best 22 on the power play. He's added 150 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 26 hits and a plus-3 rating through 59 appearances.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Three points in Carolina

    Rust scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

    After potting a goal with the man advantage in the second period, Rust earned two points in the last 2:08 of the third frame to force overtime. The veteran winger is stepping up with Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (suspension) unavailable. Over the last seven games, Rust has delivered four goals and nine points, including two goals and two assists on the power play.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Scores shorthanded in loss

    Rust scored a shorthanded goal on five shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Sabres.

    Rust's goal answered a Ryan McLeod tally in the first period, but it was all Sabres after that. During his four-game point streak, Rust has two goals and three assists, and all but one of those five points has come on special teams. The veteran winger is up to 21 goals, 45 points, 138 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 54 appearances. His tally Thursday was his first shorthanded point since the 2023-24 campaign.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: One of each in win

    Rust scored a power-play goal, registered a power-play assist, put two shots on net and dished out two hits in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Golden Knights.

    Rust found the back of the net midway through the second period on a power play before picking up a secondary power-play helper on Rickard Rakell's goal. Rust has 20 goals, 23 assists, 131 shots on net and 56 blocked shots across 52 games this season. His 20 power-play points are tied with Sidney Crosby for the team lead. Rust offers two-way value in fantasy, as he currently ranks 13th in blocked shots among forwards in addition to his offensive success.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Scores in return from suspension

    Rust scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Rust sat out the last three games to serve a suspension for his illegal check to the head on the Canucks' Brock Boeser on Jan. 25. The 33-year-old Rust immediately resumed his usual top-line role and netted a second-period goal to put the Penguins ahead 3-2. He had a tough January with five points over 11 outings, but he's up to 19 goals, 40 points, 126 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 48 appearances this season.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Suspension served

    Rust is eligible to return from his three-game suspension in Tuesday's clash with the Islanders.

    Rust was going through a bit of a slow point offensively before getting suspended, generating just three points in his last seven outings. With the veteran winger back in the lineup, he is a virtual lock to reclaim a spot on the first line with Sidney Crosby and could also link up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Handed three-game ban

    Rust has been suspended for three games by the Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for an illegal check to the head on Brock Boeser.

    Rust's absence will be a significant blow to a Penguins squad that is riding a four-game winning streak. During that stretch, the 33-year-old winger has recorded one goal, one assist and nine shots while playing on the top line with Sidney Crosby. There are several candidates who could fill that role for Pittsburgh, including Ben Kindel, who previously saw first-line minutes when Rickard Rakell was hurt.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Set for hearing with league

    Rust will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety, the NHL announced Monday.

    At this point, Rust should be expected to miss at least one game while suspended by DoPS. Assuming the winger is out against the Blackhawks on Thursday, Kevin Hayes will likely come back into the lineup, but Rust's impending suspension will likely scramble up the Penguins' lines.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Tallies in win Wednesday

    Rust scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

    This was Rust's second goal in the last four games. The 33-year-old winger is a little lacking in consistency this month, earning four points over nine appearances in January so far. He's still putting together a solid season with 18 goals, 38 points, 121 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 45 outings overall. Rust is a fixture on the top line and first power-play unit for the Penguins, making him a safe choice in fantasy.

  • Penguins' Bryan Rust: Buries power-play goal

    Rust scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.

    Rust had gone three games without a point and also missed two contests due to a lower-body injury in that scoreless span. The veteran winger is up to 17 goals, 37 points, 112 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 42 appearances. He's earned 17 points on the power play, one shy of his total last year and four off his career-best mark in the category from 2021-22.
