Brandon Prust returned to action on Friday November 15.

Brandon Prust (shoulder) took part in Wednesday's optional skate. Prust is projected to return to Montreal's lineup on Friday or Saturday. He has three points and 12 penalty minutes in eight games this season.

Brandon Prust will not likely return to the Montreal lineup until the end of November. Prust, who was originally projected to be out until mid-November with a shoulder injury, is going to need a few extra weeks to fully recover. His timetable to return has been pushed back until the end of the month.

Brandon Prust's upper-body injury is, as suspected, a shoulder problem. Prust won't be available for roughly four weeks as a result. He missed 10 games last season due to a separated shoulder.

Brandon Prust's upper-body injury is believed to be a shoulder ailment. He sat out 10 games last season after he separated his left shoulder. Prust was injured Saturday night when he crashed into the end boards while trying to pursue a loose puck. His status is still unclear so consider him day-to-day until he re-evaluation becomes known.

Montreal Canadiens forward Brandon Prust suffered an upper-body injury in the third period of his team's loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday. Prust will be re-evaluated sometime on Sunday or Monday. The rugged 29-year-old regularly generates PIM - he even had 110 despite playing in just 38 games last season - and has the kind of scoring potential that reminds one of other higher-end agitators/enforcers like Chris Neil.

Brandon Prust produced a goal and five penalty minutes in Thursday's win over Edmonton. It was his first marker of the season and his fight took place earlier in the contest with Oilers tough guy Luke Gazdic. Prust has 12 penalty minutes in four games and he should be a good source of those throughout the 2013-14 campaign.

Brandon Prust didn't practice Thursday because of family reasons, according to the team. He's expected to be available for Saturday's contest versus Philadelphia. Prust had two shots and seven penalty minutes on Tuesday.

Brandon Prust couldn't work out for four to five weeks after the 2013 season due to the rib injury he suffered during the playoffs. Prust was projected to miss three to four weeks, so this sounds right along that timeline. The good news is Prust says the ribs are "all better" and his shoulder, which he separated in early March, is also ready to go. Prust had five goals, 14 points, 110 penalty minutes and 87 hits in 38 games during his first season in Montreal and was a major sparkplug for the resurgent Canadiens.

Brandon Prust missed Montreal's final playoff game with a broken rib. He was injured on a fall in the corner when he tried to pursue Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson for a loose puck. Prust is projected to require three to four weeks of rest.
