Fantasy Analysis
Brandon 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. (Updated 05/20/2012).

05/21/2012 09:47 Pregame Skate: Rangers once again try for two-game series lead
Six times the Rangers have had a one-game lead this postseason. Six times they lost the next game. Will the seventh time be the charm or will the Devils put things back to square one again.
After trying to scratch out a spot on the Flames as an enforcer, Prust ended up coming to the Rangers and carving out a role as an effective defensive forward. He paired with Brian Boyle as a penalty killer on the fourth line with a little bit of a unexpected scoring to boot. Prust's fantasy value primarily lies within deep roster and categorical leagues, where he's a small blip on the radar with his PIMs, hits and shorthanded points. (Updated 8/16/11)
