Status report

Spurgeon could return after missing six games with a lower-body injury. … Rust, a forward, is week to week after being injured in a 4-3 loss at the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday; he played second-line right wing with Malkin at center in that game and has been first-line right wing with Crosby at center in most of his eight games this season. … Crosby, at center, and Malkin, at left wing, took rushes on the same line in practice Monday. … Glass is expected to play after being out Saturday because of an illness.
