Canadiens recall John Scott
All-Star John Scott is returning to the show.
A little more than two months after playing in what many believed to be his final NHL game - an MVP performance at the 2016 NHL All-Star event - Scott has earned a recall from the Montreal Canadiens.
Should Scott indeed dress for Montreal over its last three games, it will mark the seventh NHL sweater he's worn across eight seasons in and out of the league.
He appeared in a handful of games for the Arizona Coyotes, in the process earning the All-Star fan vote, before being dealt to Montreal in the lead-up to the event.
The opportunity to represent the Pacific was preserved despite reporting to St. John's of the American Hockey League - a decision that turned out to be a coup for the NHL.
Michael McCarron will return to St. John's to facilitate the pugilist's recall.

Jonathan Drouin scratched from AHL game due to lower-body injury
With Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos sidelined for up to three months due to a blood clot in his arm, general manager Steve Yzerman said recalling Jonathan Drouin would be "something we have to consider," but now it appears the young forward is dealing with an injury of his own in the AHL.
The 21-year-old has been scratched from the Syracuse Crunch's afternoon game against the Utica Comets on Sunday, as head coach Rob Zettler says he's dealing with a minor lower-body injury.
"He's had some issues with it in the past, kind of creeped up," Zettler said of the injury in an interview Sunday, per Crunch broadcaster Dan D'Uva. "We played six games in nine nights last week ... He just tweaked something, lower body, and he shouldn't be too long."
Drouin has 13 points in 17 games with Syracuse this season.

Maple Leafs make 4-player swap with AHL’s Marlies
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a trade - with their American Hockey League affiliate.
The team assigned forwards Connor Brown and Zach Hyman as well as defensemen Rinat Valiev and Connor Carrick to the Toronto Marlies. In return, the Leafs recalled forwards Kasperi Kapanen and Tobias Lindberg as well as defensemen T.J. Brennan and Andrew Campbell.
Kapanen and Brennan will get their second chances with the team after both suited up in games earlier in the month. Brennan currently sits second in the AHL with 67 points in 67 games.
Meanwhile, Lindberg could be the latest Maple Leaf to make his NHL debut this season. Campbell is expected to make his first NHL appearance in almost a year when the Leafs takes on the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday.
Brown, Hyman, Valiev, and Carrick rejoin a Marlies team that sits atop the AHL standings with a record of 48-15-5, 11 points ahead of the next best club.
