Rust has missed ten straight games for the Penguins after suffering an upper-body injury on December 6th. Rust's return to the ice and full participation in line rushes is an encouraging sign for the Penguins, with all signs pointing to his return on Tuesday night. Before his injury, Rust was having a terrific season, scoring 20 points (10G / 10A) in 22 games.
Robert Bortuzzo will re-enter the lineup against the Colorado Avalanche as Aho will not play on Tuesday. Aho has one point (1G / 0A), four hits, and 11 shots in his last nine games.
Kevin Shattenkirk will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Grzelcyk to make his return to the lineup for only the second time in the last six games for the Bruins. On Saturday, Grzelcyk recorded an assist and fired five shots on goal in 18:20 time-on-ice.
The Penguins have been stout defensively over their last three games (3-0-0), allowing only three total goals, and will turn to Jarry on Tuesday after trusting Alex Nedjelkovic between the pipes in their last contest. In his last two games (2-0-0), Jarry has saved 47 of 49 shots (.959 SV%) and will look to continue his stretch of fine play against the Washington Capitals, who he recorded a 19-save shutout against earlier this season. The Penguins are sizeable -172 home favourites against the Capitals on Tuesday.
