Canucks' Prust will return vs. Blackhawks

Vancouver Canucks forward Brandon Prust (ankle) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Blackhawks.

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.
