LAS VEGAS -- Bryan Rust spent a week in the NHL's Covid protocol before skating in the Penguins' practice Sunday at T-Mobile Arena Sunday, so he didn't feel quite as sharp as normal.
His wit certainly was, though, as evidenced by Rust's explanation of he felt on the ice.
"A bit rusty," he said. "Pun intended."
Mike Sullivan said Rust will be available to play when the Penguins face the Golden Knights Monday night at 10:08 p.m. Eastern, but neither he nor Rust seemed certain he'll be in the lineup then.
"I guess we'll see," Rust said.
