PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust returned to the lineup on Sunday, but the team was still not at full strength because defenseman Justin Schultz and forwards Patric Hornqvist were ruled out with injuries, and Conor Sheary was a healthy scratch.
For the Penguins' pivotal Game 5 against the Ottawa Senators in an Eastern Conference finals series tied 2-2, Schultz took warmups but didn't return to the ice.
Rust had missed Game 4 with an upper-body injury.
Sullivan ruled out defenseman Chad Ruhwedel, who suffered a concussion during the last game, and Tom Kuhnhackl (lower body).
