Rust injured his upper-body during Wednesday's game against the Flyers, and his status will be updated again Thursday.

The delay of an update on Rust could be an indication he's undergoing further testing. An extended absence for the winger would be significant for the Penguins given his 33 points (10 goals, 23 assists) through 56 games this season. Should he sit out Saturday against the Maple Leafs, Carter Rowney appears the logical candidate to draw in.
