The Canadiens assigned Tokarski to AHL St. John's on Monday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Tokarski posted a subpar 3.18 GAA in his six games with the Canadiens, so the team decided to make a change, sending Tokarski down while acquiring fellow goaltender Ben Scrivens from the Oilers. Tokarski will be fourth in line at the goaltender position when Carey Price is ready to play again, so it remains to be seen if he will be back with the NHL club this season.
