ST. LOUIS -- Bryan Rust will miss his second consecutive game when the Penguins face the Blues tonight at Enterprise Center.
How many more, if any, he might not be available for remains to be seen.
"We sent him back to Pittsburgh to get evaluated," Mike Sullivan said this evening. "Right now, his status is day-to-day. I'll probably have more specific information when I get back (to Pittsburgh)."
Rust suffered an unspecified lower-body injury when he went hard into the boards during a game-day skate in Columbus Friday morning.
He has been one of the Penguins' most reliable contributors this season and is tied for third place in the team scoring race with 17 points on nine goals and eight assists.
