Rakell, Rust switch lines in practice, coaching staff 'looking at all our options'

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- The top line of Sidney Crosby, Bryan Rust and Jake Guentzel had a pretty rough game in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs, to say the least.

The trio was on the ice for all five Toronto goals against and combined for a minus-13.

It was after that game that I asked Mike Sullivan how he'd assess the impact bumping Rickard Rakell down to the second line and moving Rust up to the top line has had on both lines over the last 8 games that's been the case.
