Anytime a hockey player joins a group where the only other members are Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky, that’s a special place to be no matter the circumstances or fine print associated to get there. So it goes for Bryan Rust, whose absolutely incredible start to 2022 (7 goals + 4 assists in three games) has him in the most elite of all hockey circles.
It’s just a legitimately fun experience right now to watch Penguins hockey. They’re lighting up the scoreboard and so many players are hitting on all cylinders. No one more so than Rust at the moment.
