Bryan Rust Suffers Undisclosed Injury in Preseason Finale

Bryan Rust sustained an undisclosed injury during the Pittsburgh Penguins' preseason finale against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday and was unable to return to the game. The veteran winger, who recorded 29 goals and 65 points across 72 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, was initially suited up for the afternoon matchup before leaving. If Rust is unable to recover prior to Opening Night, prospect Rutger McGroarty could see an expanded role on the roster.
