Penguins' Bryan Rust: Scores, assists in OT loss
Rotowire
Rust recorded a goal, an assist, three shots on goal, a blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.
Rust got back on the scoresheet after not doing so in his previous two appearances. The 32-year-old veteran is ending the regular season on a strong note after recording points in four of his last six appearances, including three multi-point efforts in that stretch. Rust has been one of the most productive players for the Penguins this season and has tallied 57 points across 65 appearances. He's only one point away from matching the career-best output he delivered in 2021-22, and he's also one goal away from tying his personal-best mark in that category established one year ago.

Penguins' Bryan Rust: Stays hot offensively
Rotowire
Rust netted two goals, provided an assist and fired three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Panthers.
Rust found the back of the net twice in the opening period with the first of his two tallies being a power-play goal. His two goals were within five minutes of each other, and he then got involved early in the second period with the primary assist on Evgeni Malkin's power-play tally. The 32-year-old Rust has five points in his last two games and is heating up at the right time for the Penguins. If he can bring this momentum into the final few weeks of the regular season, Rust has a real shot to set a new career high in points. He needs just four points to tie his previous best of 58 from the 2021-22 campaign. Overall, Rust has 25 goals, 29 assists and 156 shots on net in 61 appearances.
