Prout (upper body) is fully fit ahead of the 2020-21 campaign according to general manager Doug Wilson, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prout played in just two games for the Sharks this season, serving primarily as an emergency depth option. As such, the organization could decide not to re-sign Prout this offseason, as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent on Oct. 9. The blueliner may need to settle for a two-way contract that allows a team to move him between the NHL and AHL.

The Sharks recalled Prout from his conditioning stint in AHL San Jose on Monday, Sharks beat writer Sheng Peng reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prout logged three AHL games, so he could be an option for Tuesday's matchup against the Flyers. He's hasn't played an NHL game since November, and he'll likely work on the bottom pairing if he gets the call.

The Sharks sent Prout (upper body) to AHL San Jose on a conditioning assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Prout has been sidelined for over three months with an upper-body injury, so he'll likely stick with San Jose's minor-league affiliate for the full two weeks the NHL allows for conditioning assignments. Either way, the 29-year-old blueliner has only picked up two points in 26 games over the past three campaigns, so there's no reason for fantasy owners to keep tabs on his status.

Prout (upper body) took the ice after the Sharks' morning skate session Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prout last took the ice for a one-game return against Anaheim in mid-November and has appeared in just two games all season. The blueliner's return is likely still a ways off, but his presence on the ice in any capacity is a good sign.

Prout (upper body) remains without a return timeline, Curtis Pashelka of Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pashelka adds that Prout is probably further away than Antti Suomela, who's battling an upper-body injury of his own. It sounds like Prout's absence will extend for another few games at the least.

Prout (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Prout moving to IR, the Sharks recalled Noah Gregor from AHL San Jose to take the veteran's roster spot. Prout last played Nov. 14 but suffered an upper-body injury in that contest and is expected to miss some time as a result.

Prout (upper body) won't play Saturday against the Red Wings and is without a return timeline, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yet another tough piece of news for Prout, coming off his first game back after missing 18 contests with an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old blueliner appears destined for another lengthy absence, but we'll wait for another update from the Sharks before speculating any further. Even when healthy, Prout's fantasy value is nil; playing his ninth season, he's never finished with more than nine points in a campaign.

Prout accrued seven PIM and added two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Prout was making his first appearance since Opening Night, as he's missed 18 games with an upper-body injury. In the first period, the defenseman dropped the gloves with the Ducks' Nicolas Deslauriers. Prout would later take a hooking minor in the third period that led to Evander Kane's shorthanded tally. Don't expect Prout to generate much scoring -- he's a defensive and physical presence with more on-ice value than fantasy production.

The Sharks recalled Prout from AHL San Jose on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Prout could retake the ice with the Sharks as soon as Thursday versus the Ducks after recording an assist over two games with the Barracuda. Regardless of his status Thursday, Prout hasn't tallied more than nine points over the course of an NHL season, leaving the veteran off the fantasy radar in the majority of formats.

Prout (upper body) was assigned to AHL San Jose for conditioning purposes.

EDGE Analysis

Prout hasn't played since the season opener due to this upper-body issue. It appears he's ready for game action. Prout is allowed to spend a week in the minors before he has to return to the big club, and he could suit up in three games in that span, including Sunday against AHL San Diego.
