Returning versus Bolts Rust (lower body) will be in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Impact With his lower-body injury behind him, Rust figures to return to a first-line role alongside Sidney Crosby in addition to linking back up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Since the start of December, the 33-year-old Rust has tallied nine goals and nine helpers, including eight power-play points. Given his offensive upside, a spot playing with Crosby, Rust figures to offer top-end fantasy value the rest of the way.

Six-game, eight-point streak Rust had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.

Impact Rust had five shots, the same number of shots he had in his previous three games. He's on a six-game, eight-point scoring streak that includes three goals and five assists. It includes two power-play assists. Rust is a clear example of a line mate making the man -- he's Sidney Crosby's wingman -- but does that really matter in fantasy? He has 16 goals, 20 assists, 16 power-play points and 98 shots in 38 games, which puts him on pace to deliver a new career mark. That is, if Rust can stay healthy. He played 81 games in 2022-23 and 60 in the COVID-shortened 2020-21, but has seen time on the IR in every other year. Rust set a new career high last season with 65 points (31 goals, 34 assists) in 71 games.

Impact Rust has three goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. He's gotten on the scoresheet in eight of the last 10 contests, with four multi-point outings to his name in that span. The 33-year-old winger continues to thrive on the top line and first power-play unit, earning 34 points (16 with the man advantage), 91 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 36 appearances this season.

Rust is up to 15 goals, 32 points, 90 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 35 appearances this season. He should continue to be one of the Penguins' most productive forwards as he aims to top the career-best 31-goal, 65-point campaign he had in 2024-25.
