Penguins injuries mounting, Bryan Rust out “longer term”

Bad news today from Pittsburgh Penguins practice in the form of injury updates to Bryan Rust and Chad Ruhwedel.

Coach Sullivan on players injured in yesterday’s game: “Rust is longer term with a lower-body injury. Ruhwedel is longer term with an upper-body injury.”

“Longer term” in coach-speak is not a good sign. Rust was reportedly seen in a walking boot shortly after the game last night. He was injured after colliding with Adam McQuaid, who then fell on top of him too.
