He has been named the NHL’s third star of the week.
During the week ending on Sunday, Rust scored three goals and two assists in two games, one vs. the Capitals and the other against the Islanders.
The three goals scored by Rust are among the best in the NHL over the course of last week and the five points rank among third best in the league during the same time frame.
Congratulations to the NHL's third star of the week, @rustyyy_92!
