Pittsburgh Penguins forwards Bryan Rust and Jake Guentzel are both in the lineup Sunday afternoon against the San Jose Sharks, the team announced.

Pittsburgh activated the pair off injured reserve earlier on Sunday.

Rust has sat out the past 11 games with a lower-body ailment, marking the second time this season that the 29-year-old has missed time due to injury. He has been effective when he's suited up for the Penguins so far this campaign, logging two goals and seven assists in 12 contests.

Guentzel, meanwhile, sat out Pittsburgh's last five games with an upper-body injury. Before being sidelined, the winger was riding a 13-game point streak and garnered seven points in his last two matchups. The 27-year-old leads the Penguins with 27 points in 24 games.

Both players will slot onto the top line.

Pittsburgh also announced that forward Teddy Blueger has been removed from COVID-19 protocol but will not play Sunday against the Sharks.
