Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust will be re-evaluated in six weeks after he sustained a lower-body injury, head coach Dan Muse said Thursday.
Rust was injured in Monday’s 5-4 loss to the Utah Mammoth. The slumping Penguins have dropped four in a row and seven of their last eight games (1-6-1).
Rust, 34, is in his 13th season with the Penguins, who drafted the Michigan native in the third round in 2010. He has totaled five points (three goals, two assists) in seven games this season.
In 717 regular-season games, Rust has 507 points (235 goals, 272 assists) and is a two-time Stanley Cup winner.
