Bryan Rust has a sense of timing.
The rookie provided all of the offense for the Pittsburgh Penguins' 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final, and Thursday wasn't his first time scoring twice this spring.

Rust also notched a pair of goals and added an assist in Pittsburgh's 6-3 series-clinching win over the New York Rangers in Game 5 of their first-round series.
The 24-year-old has five goals and three assists in 17 playoff games after managing only 11 points in 47 regular-season contests.
