Justin Schultz’s return to Penguins is imminent, but will it come Tuesday? 
By his own evaluation, Justin Schultz’s play after returning from a long injury absence last season was not up to his lofty standards.

Kevin Gorman: Make no mistake, Matt Murray and Jack Johnson push Penguins past Bruins

Penguins forward Bryan Rust savors 20-goal mark 
DETROIT — He didn’t want to talk about it. At least when he was “18-goal scorer Bryan Rust.” Can he see himself as a 20-goal scorer? “No,” the Pittsburgh Penguins forward said tersely after a practice Jan. 11 in Scottsdale, Ariz. “I try not to. But it’s obviously something that...
