Watch: Penguins' Rust opens Game 7 scoring after patient Guentzel feed

The Washington Capitals have Mr. Game 7 in Justin Williams.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have Mr. Elimination Game in Bryan Rust.

Advantage: Penguins.

Rust opened the scoring in Game 7 in the second period after a Matt Niskanen turnover and a brilliant pass from Jake Guentzel.

The goal was Rust's eighth in 12 career elimination/close-out games and third in two Game 7s. It ended up the game and series winner. This is his second career postseason. He is ridiculous.

Pittsburgh defeated Washington 2-0 to advance to the Eastern final and end the Capitals' season.
