The Penguins gave some bad news on Tuesday, injured forward Bryan Rust will be out on a week-to-week basis, coach Mike Sullivan announced. Rust did not travel with the team on their Western swing. Rust scored two goals against the Flyers on Sunday but then was injured in the third period after getting hit twice in rapid succession.
Rust played 81 games last season, but his career has been riddled with injuries.
