Penguins shake up line combinations, elevate McGinn to second line

The Penguins shook up their line combinations at the morning skate ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oilers, the penultimate game of the regular season.

Mike Sullivan moved Bryan Rust back up to the top line, putting Rickard Rakell back on Evgeni Malkin's wing. Brock McGinn took Jason Zucker's spot on Malkin's other wing. Kasperi Kapanen appears to be back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch Sunday in Philadelphia, making Brian Boyle the odd man out:

Jake Guentzel - Sidney Crosby - Bryan Rust
Brock McGinn - Evgeni Malkin - Rickard Rakell
Jason Zucker - Jeff Carter - Kasperi Kapanen
Danton Heinen - Teddy Blueger - Evan Rodrigues

Rust, obviously, has been Sidney Crosby's winger for most of the year.
