Dalton Prout

Dalton Prout (born March 13, 1990) is a Canadian ice hockey defenceman for the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected 154th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
==Playing career==
Prout played junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with three teams. The Barrie Colts, Sarnia Sting and the Saginaw Spirit. On July 1, 2011, Prout was signed by the Blue Jackets to a three-year entry-level contract. Prout made his NHL debut March 30, 2012 vs the Florida Panthers.
Prout narrowly avoided a suspension after attacking Pittsburgh Penguins' player Sergei Plotnikov with his stick in a game on December 21, 2015. Later that season, on March 13, 2016, Prout attacked Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov from the side with a sucker punch, receiving a two-minute minor for roughing and a game misconduct. He was subsequently summoned for a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety for the incident. On March 15, 2016, the Department of Player Safety announced that Prout would be suspended for one game for delivering a punch to an unsuspecting opponent.
In the 2016–17 season, Prout's tenure in Columbus came to an end in his sixth season as he was dealt by the Blue Jackets on March 1, 2017 to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Kyle Quincey.
