Well this is good news.

UPDATE: Paul Holmgren told reporters after the game that Pronger will be on bed rest for three days and wear a visor upon his return. He will be out 2-to-3 weeks.

…

According to SportsNet Canada's Mike Brophy (where you at, Philly beat guys?), Chris Pronger is home and resting. A doctor said he should be OK. Of course, being OK is a relative term here, considering the shot Prongs took to the eye, but it's certainly good news.

Bob McKenzie, from TSN, first reported that Pronger was seeing an eye specialist.

Howard Eskin, who is usually right on with these things, says it's an "eye injury with bleeding," out up to two weeks, max. Eskin also says Pronger doesn't have a fracture.

We'll update with anything new.
