Rust is clearly just a name.

For the second straight game Thursday, Bryan Rust scored a clutch goal for his Pittsburgh Penguins. After scoring the insurance marker in Game 6, the 24-year-old sniped his fourth of the playoffs for a 1-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7.

After Jonathan Drouin scored to tie the game 1-1, Rust would reply with his second of the contest moments later to restore the Penguins' lead.
