27. Bryan Rust

Tenacious and quick, Bryan Rust sounds about right when you think of man from Pontiac, Michigan.

Rust played collegiately at Notre Dame, where the Right Wing was good enough to gain a Third Round selection by the Penguins, though it was four years later until he debuted for the parent club.  Playing sparingly until his third year, Rust aided the Pens in their 2016 and 2017 Stanley Cup Championships, even winning the nickname of “Mr. Eliminator” for his penchant to score Series closing Goals.

In all of his last four seasons, Rust scored at least 42 Points, which may be the high-water mark for him, but he is currently on a four-year streak of 20 Goals, and the Penguins have been fortunate to have him for the last nine years.
