CRANBERRY — Pittsburgh Penguins winger Bryan Rust will miss the start of the NHL regular season.

Last season, Rust set a career high with 31 goals. His name has appeared in trade speculation since the end of his no-trade clause on July 1, but Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas set a "sky-high" price.
Defenseman Jack St. Ivany was injured in the first period on Wednesday against the Buffalo Sabres . He suffered a lower-body injury after blocking a shot. He is still being evaluated and won't practice Thursday.
Penguins winger Noel Acciari played Wednesday against Buffalo, his first preseason action after suffering a core muscle injury in August. Rutger McGroarty was also seen around the Penguins' practice facility Thursday in workout gear.
