Penguins placing Rust, Trotman on LTIR

The Penguins are placing Bryan Rust and Zach Trotman on long-term injured reserve.

Trotman has already been placed on long-term injured reserve. Rust has not yet gone on long-term injured reserve, and will be placed on long-term injured reserve once the Penguins' roster is submitted.

Trotman is out "longer-term" after undergoing sports hernia surgery during training camp. Rust was hit in the hand while blocking a shot in Saturday's preseason finale.

Both Trotman and Rust are expected to miss at least 10 NHL games and 24 days by going on long-term injured reserve.
