The Pittsburgh Penguins will indeed dress their hottest goal-scorer in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.
After being forced to exit Pittsburgh's icebreaking win over the San Jose Sharks on Monday following an illegal check to the head from Patrick Marleau, Bryan Rust will return to regular duty in Game 2.

Rust is riding a three-game scoring streak, which includes both goals in the Penguins' 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7, and their first of the Cup final.
Marleau avoided supplemental discipline for delivering the blow.
