BROSSARD, Que. -- John Scott only expects his latest stint in the NHL to last one game.
"Unless I score a hat trick," he told reporters with a laugh.
Scott will play an NHL game for the first time since being traded to Montreal, and the first time in over four months, when the Canadiens host the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.
"I'm glad I can get into a game," Scott said. "The fans (in Montreal) have always been the best. I've been here a few times and it's just one of the best arenas to play at, so I'm excited to be on the home side of it this time.
