Prust has been suspended for one game by the NHL for his elbow to the head of New Jersey Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov during New York's win in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Advice: Prust had a telephone hearing, his first in five NHL seasons, with NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan on Sunday to discuss the elbow he landed to the back of Volchenkov's helmet early in the second period of the Rangers' 3-0 win on Saturday. New York leads 2-1 in the series that continues with Game 4 in New Jersey on Monday night. Prust will miss that game and could be replaced by forward Brandon Dubinsky, who has been out since Game 7 of the first round (right foot).

Prust has been suspended for one game by the NHL for his elbow to the head of Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov during New York's win in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Associated Press reports.
Recommendation: Prust isn't a huge scorer, but he does a lot of grunt work on the bottom two lines and lineup consistency has helped the Rangers get pretty far this season. Perhaps Monday would be the perfect time for Brandon Dubinsky to return from a foot injury.
