When Bryan Rust takes the ice Tuesday evening against the Panthers at PPG Paints Arena, it will mark his 400th NHL game.
Rust was asked after Monday's practice what he remembers of his first NHL game, way back on Dec. 13, 2014 in Columbus. It was a 4-3 shootout loss for the Penguins, with Rust playing on a fourth line that also included Craig Adams and Andrew Ebbett.
Rust played just nine shifts that night, recording no points in jut 6:02 of ice time.
"I didn't play very much," he recalled.
