Practice report: Rust skates, Crosby getting closer

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Bryan Rust got back on the ice Monday.

Sidney Crosby got a bigger role in practice.

And the Penguins got confirmation that Kris Letang's positive COVID-19 test result was, in fact, correct.

Rust and Letang certainly will miss the Penguins' game against the Lightning Tuesday at 7:08 p.m. at PPG Paints Arena, and Crosby seems like a long shot to play then, although Mike Sullivan did not explicitly rule him out after after practice.

"Obviously, we want to get Sid in the lineup as quickly as we possibly can," Sullivan said.
