Prust (leg) will not play in Monday night's game against Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the fact that he took part in Monday's optional skate, Prust did not participate in warm-ups and is not listed in the starting forward lines and thus can be expected to miss the tilt with the Coyotes. The 31-year-old veteran winger's next chance to return to the ice will come Wednesday when Vancouver hosts Carolina.

Prust (leg) is expected to play Monday against Arizona, Irfaan Gaffar of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prust's status was given as questionable Sunday, but after taking part in Monday's optional skate, he has been upgraded to probable. Prust is scoreless in his last 10 games, so if he is able to suit up, expect him to continue in a bottom-six role.

Prust (undisclosed) is questionable for Monday's tilt with Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Prust apparently suffered the injury during Friday's game against Anaheim, and it may keep him out Monday, as well. Since returning from an ankle injury that he suffered earlier in the season, Prust has recorded just two points in 19 games (he scored five points in the nine games before being injured). Expect talented rookie Jared McCann to enter the lineup if Prust is unable to go.

Prust tallied a goal and an assist in Monday's win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Prust's first of the season, and the pair of points were his first of any kind since the opening month of the season. He won't factor into the scoresheet often, but the fourth-liner is up to 45 PIM on the year, adding some value in deeper leagues.

Prust (ankle) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Prust was expected to make his return Saturday, and that has now been confirmed as the case. Prior to the injury, the 31-year-old winger had himself a decent start to the season, notching five points in the first nine games, though he's yet to score a goal. He'll get his first chance to do so since the calendar turned to November on Saturday, facing a Blackhawks club yielding 3.25 goals per game on the road this season.

Prust (ankle) is expected to return to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blackhawks, Canucks play-by-play announcer Jon Abbott reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prust was expected to be out 4-to-6 weeks after injuring his ankle in late October, but he is on track to return even earlier than the low end of his initial estimate. Prust will look to pick up where he left of after tallying five assists, a plus-three rating, and 25 PIM in his first nine games.

Prust (ankle) thinks he is about a week away from returning.
EDGE Analysis
Prust was initially expected to be out until at least December, so this development is great news for Prust and the Canucks. Before his injury, Prust was scoring at the highest rate of his career, with five points in nine games. Whether Prust can keep this pace going when he returns largely depends upon which line he returns to.

Prust (ankle) will missfour-to-six weeks with an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
The team didn't release the exact nature of Prust's ankle issue, it's obviously serious in nature. The timetable will set his return as late November at the earliest, but more likely some point in early-to-mid December. Brendan Gaunce was recalled from AHL Utica earlier in the week to provide some depth among the forward ranks, but it also appears that Chris Higgins may soon return from an injured reserve stint of his own.

Prust (ankle) will not travel with the Canucks for their upcoming two-game road trip, Sportsnet's Dan Murphy reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's an unfortunate turn of events for the 31-year-old grinder, as he just enjoyed his best game of the season, tallying two assists in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canadiens. His next chance to return to Vancouver's lineup will come Monday against the Flyers.

Prust assisted on both of Jared McCann's first-period goals in Tuesday's 5-1 in over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Prust showed his former team something they didn't think they were missing; production from their fourth line grinder. He had 18 points in 82 games for Montreal last season, but already has five assists in nine games in 2015-16. The scoring won't be consistent, but with his high PIM total, Prust provides enough offense to warrant consideration in deeper leagues.
