NHL.com Points Projection: 60
Rust was second in Pittsburgh last season with 28 goals in 62 games, and had the second-best goals-per-game average (0.45). Rust was tied for third on the Penguins with 56 points despite missing 20 games. He’s expected to be considered around 175th overall in fantasy drafts, and given his goal-scoring ability, he has the potential to be a steal in the draft.
