Penguins' Bryan Rust: Gets top billing Thursday
Rust skated on the Pens' top line with Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz during Thursday's morning skate.
Analysis:
He took two shots and registered a minus-2 rating Tuesday in his season debut against the Canadiens. Rust doesn't profile as a high scorer -- the 24-year-old has never averaged a point per game at any level -- but Pittsburgh is looking for a spark.
