Penguins' Rust leaves game after high hit from Sharks' Marleau
Vine
The Stanley Cup Final has its first questionable hit, and it involved a pair of goal-scorers from earlier in Game 1.
San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau was given a two-minute minor for an illegal check to the head of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust, whose head jolted back as a result of the third-period hit.
Following a brief trip to his team's dressing room, Rust returned to the game. He managed to play for one shift before heading back down the tunnel, ending his night for good.
