Prust (ankle) thinks he is about a week away from returning.

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.
