Not at all. I do have recollection of him hitting the net a few times though in past games, which probably led to rebound chances. I suspect though he's broken up a few cycles because that pair usually breaks it out quick and early from my viewings.
My take on Prout is that he's basically just a Sarich type scrub, but in sheltered minutes he is able to pressure the puck and let his partner carry the play. But for a #9D, or even #7, that's solid. Which is a huge step up from a liability. I do wonder if the team when healthy could benefit from swapping full pairs - Kylington-Prout/Stone and Valimaki-Andersson/Stone - instead of forcing the Kylington-Andersson pair.
