Ben Scrivens is heading back to the American Hockey League.
The Montreal Canadiens netminder cleared waivers and was assigned to the St. John's IceCaps, it was announced Thursday.
The 29-year-old was placed on waivers Wednesday after the team signed NCAA goaltender Charlie Lindgren to a two-year contract.
Scrivens has gone 5-8-0 with a .906 save percentage and a 3.07 GAA with the Canadiens, while also boasting a 2-6-1 record with a .893 save percentage and a 3.47 GAA with the Edmonton Oilers' affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors.
