The Pittsburgh Penguins are making a change in their lineup for Friday’s game. Bryan Rust is back in action, while Cody Glass is now on the injured list.
Rust had been struggling with a lower-body issue that first appeared earlier this season. He finally got to play on October 12th and scored three goals and four points over eight games before his injury flared up again on October 26th. Tonight, the team hopes he’ll be back in top form, possibly joining Sidney Crosby or taking a spot on the second line with Evgeni Malkin and Rickard Rakell.
Unfortunately, not all news is positive for Pittsburgh fans . Glass suffered an upper-body injury during last night’s match against the Carolina Hurricanes and has been placed on injured reserve for the first time this season. In his debut year with the Penguins, he’s played 14 games but only managed four assists and a -7 rating. Playing mostly in bottom-six roles with about 11:48 of ice time each game, his absence might not shake things up too much.
Lineup Changes Amidst Challenges:
Fans might wonder if these changes will help turn around Pittsburgh’s tough start to the season. The team currently struggles near the bottom of the Metropolitan Division standings, adding frustration to their injury woes.
As we wrap up this news update, what do you think about these lineup shifts? Will Rust’s return make a big difference?
