Bryan Rust Returns from Injury, Joins Crosby on First Line

Bryan Rust (lower body) will be in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. With his lower-body injury behind him, Rust figures to return to a first-line role alongside Sidney Crosby in addition to linking back up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Since the start of December, the 33-year-old Rust has tallied nine goals and nine helpers, including eight power-play points, offering top-end fantasy value with his offensive upside.
