Texas Stars sign Scherbak
The Texas Stars announced Saturday that they have signed right-winger Nikita Scherbak to an AHL contract for this season, which is scheduled to start on Feb. 5.
The Canadiens selected Scherbak in the first round (26th overall) of the 2014 NHL Draft, but he only played 29 games with the team, posting 5-2-7 totals. Los Angeles claimed Scherbak off waivers from the Canadiens on Dec. 2, 2018, but he only played eight games with the Kings, scoring one goal.
The 25-year-old played 31 games in the KHL last season, split between Omsk Avangard and Chelyabinsk Traktor, posting 3-8-11 totals.
What’s next?
The Canadiens will fly home from Vancouver on Sunday and enjoy a day off Monday in Montreal.
The Canadiens will then practise Tuesday and Wednesday at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard before playing their home opener Thursday night at the Bell Centre against the Calgary Flames (7 p.m., TSN2, RDS, TSN 690 Radio). It will be the first of five straight home games for the Canadiens.
