Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust faces a hearing with the league following Sunday’s illegal check to the head of Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser.
The date and time have yet to be determined for the hearing. Rust received a minor penalty on the play, which occurred at the end of Pittsburgh’s 3-2 road win.
Rust, 33, is in his 12th NHL season with the Penguins, who drafted the Michigan native in the third round in 2010. In 47 games this season, he has posted 39 points (18 goals, 21 assists).
In 685 regular-season games, Rust has 476 points (221 goals, 255 assists) and is a two-time Stanley Cup winner. Over 79 postseason games, he has compiled 35 points (21 goals, 14 assists).
