Tage Thompson scored two goals in Saturday's win, and newcomer Josh Norris also tallied a goal.
Kevin Hayes and Noel Acciari will bring the veteran presence to the Penguins' lineup this evening, so fans should look for the duo to lead the way on the score sheet if all goes their way.
The teams will once again face each other on October 3rd, and it remains to be seen if Rust will be okay annd good enough to join the team by then. We should hopefully receive an official update in the coming hours or by tomorrow.
