Amid all the ongoing turmoil in the Montreal Canadiens organization, there was some positive news Wednesday night.
John Scott scored his first goal of the season - first one that counts, anyway - for the AHL's St. John's IceCaps, beating Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Kristers Gudlevskis for a power-play goal in a 3-2 win over the Syracuse Crunch.
Scott was playing his seventh game for the Canadiens' affiliate after being assigned to the AHL following the controversial trade that sent him from the Arizona Coyotes to the Montreal organization.
It was his first goal since he tallied twice and led the Pacific Division All-Stars to victory while claiming MVP honors at the NHL All-Star Game in Nashville last month.
