WINNIPEG, Manitoba — “Hockey’s a funny game,” Bryan Rust was saying Saturday at this city’s Hockey For All Centre, practice facility of the resident Jets. “Most sports have a funny everything.”
This was after he and the Penguins had completed a half-hour workout that’ll be sandwiched between their 6-4 victory over the Wild the previous night and the next game Saturday -- 7:08 p.m. Eastern faceoff -- against the Jets at Canada Life Centre.
And yeah, this followed yet another game in which Rust didn’t score, amid yet another season in which he settles into an uncomfortably long slide.
