Lightning recall Jonathan Drouin from AHL
The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled forward Jonathan Drouin from the AHL's Syracuse Crunch, general manager Steve Yzerman announced Thursday.
If Drouin plays in final two TB regular season games, he gets an accrued season counting towards UFA status but TB not concerned with that.

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.
