Muse did not announce the lines, who would take Rust's spot beside Sidney Crosby , or where Hayes would slot into the lineup.
In response to the Rust injury, the team made what Muse termed a "precautionary" recall. The team recalled scrappy winger Rafael Harvey Pinard from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
After an initial burst in training camp. Harvey-Pinard faded and was assigned to WBS. In 32 AHL games this season, Harvey-Pinard has 13 points, including seven goals.
Harvey-Pinard, 27, has 84 games of NHL experience, exclusively with the Montreal Canadiens , scoring 17 goals and registering 31 points. He had 14 goals in 34 games during his rookie season, 2022-23.
