Nikita Scherbak was returned to the Laval Rocket relatively early during Canadiens training camp, and frankly, it wasn't surprising. By his own admission, he had a poor showing at camp, but his morale remained high despite the rough start to the season.

“I realized that I expected more from myself. I'm just going to get my mindset straight and get to work,” he said.

Now, just six games into the AHL season, Scherbak is quickly becoming one of the biggest offensive threats on the team, and perhaps the entire league. He already has nine points, leading all Rocket players, and is tied for third in AHL scoring.
