The Montreal Canadiens made a few roster moves shortly after losing 7-1 to the Minnesota Wild. Both wingers Nikita Scherbak and Bobby Farnham were sent down to the St. John’s Ice Caps of the American Hockey League.
Both players started the year in the AHL and have played most of the season with the Ice Caps. With a rash of injuries throughout the Canadiens lineup, reinforcements were needed in the form of Scherbak and Farnham.
Scherbak suited up for three Habs contests. He made his National Hockey League debut on Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs and scored a big goal with one second left in the opening period.
