New Jersey Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov participated in team practice on Sunday after taking a questionable hit from New York Rangers tough guy Brandon Prust in Game 3. Volchenkov's (relative) health decreases the chances that Prust will receive a suspension for his elbow - or at least could reduce the amount of time the Rangers player might sit. Of course, that doesn't guarantee that Volchenkov will play in Game 4, but it indicates he should shake off another controversial hit. (Volchenkov was also the recipient of a big Zac Rinaldo check in the semifinals.)
