What It Means:

The Penguins bench boss did not like the high hit from San Jose's Patrick Marleau on the play. "It's a blindside hit to the head," he said. "I'm sure the league will look at it." Rust scored his sixth goal of the playoffs in the first period, but he was forced to leave the match in the third period.

Rust tallied 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 41 games played during the regular season. His Corsi For Percentage of 51.1 was solid, but his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength was a poor -5.8.
