Prust cleared waivers Wednesday and is likely bound for AHL Utica, Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province reports.

Analysis:

Prust was placed on waivers Tuesday, but went unclaimed and will presumably join the team's AHL affiliate. The winger will serve as organizational depth, but could be recalled later in the season if the Canucks are in need of another forward.
