Bryan Rust’s poor injury luck continues, as Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Muse announced on Thursday that the winger will be out for at least six weeks with a lower-body injury.

The six-week timeline is less a certainty that he will return at the end of it, just that the team will re-evaluate the injury and go from there. This timeline will keep Rust out of the lineup until at least the beginning of December, and will miss at least 15-20 games of the regular season for the Penguins.
