Rust played with Geno and that line was when Hagelin and Rust took off. They scored at close to a point a game before Rust got hurt. If someone looks it up I think they can see the points of Malkin with Hagelin and Rust but from what I remember they kicked butt. I remember when Hornqvist came back and Sullivan put him with Malkin I was thinking that was a mistake. Malkin cooled off pretty quickly after that change.
What I like about Hornqvist and Hagelin is they are good puck retrievers. They get the puck back with speed on the forecheck or grinding it out. Plus, they don't really want to shoot. Or should shoot. So they work well with Malkin. Just get the puck to Malkin and then he draws the eyes of everyone and he can shoot or use some skill and feed for a tap in goal
