Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust is having a career year in 2024-25, becoming just the ninth player in franchise history to score at least 30 points in eight seasons.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are reportedly looking to make a fire sale ahead of the trade deadline, with key veterans on the trade block. The Penguins have managed to bounce back after a tough season start.

Penguins GM Kyle Dubas made a big decision last week by placing goalie Tristan Jarry, with three years remaining on his contract at $5.38M, on waivers.

On Thursday night, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust scored a goal and had two assists for a three-point night. He now has 32 points and has reached the 30-point plateau for the eighth time ...

Logan Thompson played well at the other end, and Rust's goal broke a shutout streak for him that was over 160 minutes at that point. The Penguins got 19 shots through to Thompson, but the Capitals blocked 18 other attempts and thwarted any second-chance opportunities, making it difficult for the Penguins to get too many grade-A looks.

Alex Nedeljkovic became the first goalie in NHL history to have a goal and an assist, and made 40 saves as the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-2.
