The Penguins have seen both ends of the league’s supplemental discipline system already this postseason. He also scored both Pittsburgh goals in a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final on Thursday. Rust scored the Penguins' first goal as Pittsburgh dominated play in the opening period. He played only one shift after the collision that lasted 35 seconds midway through the third. Rust went to the locker room minutes after the hit, although he returned to the Penguins’ bench.
"I just tried to keep everything down," Marleau said.
Marleau told reporters that he doesn’t think a suspension is in the offing. “I'm sure the league will look at it," Sullivan said. Marleau was given a two-minute minor for a check to the head. The collision occurred nearly five minutes into the third period as San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau delivered what appeared to be a shoulder to Rust’s head. "He is day-to-day with an upper-body injury,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said after his team’s 3-2 victory. PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust’s status was put in question after he absorbed a hit to the head in the third period of Monday’s Stanley Cup Final opener.
