Suspension served Rust is eligible to return from his three-game suspension in Tuesday's clash with the Islanders.

Impact Rust was going through a bit of a slow point offensively before getting suspended, generating just three points in his last seven outings. With the veteran winger back in the lineup, he is a virtual lock to reclaim a spot on the first line with Sidney Crosby and could also link up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Tallies in win Wednesday Rust scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Impact This was Rust's second goal in the last four games. The 33-year-old winger is a little lacking in consistency this month, earning four points over nine appearances in January so far. He's still putting together a solid season with 18 goals, 38 points, 121 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 45 outings overall. Rust is a fixture on the top line and first power-play unit for the Penguins, making him a safe choice in fantasy.
