Scott was named Pacific Division captain while a member of the Arizona Coyotes. He was traded to the Montreal Canadiens on Jan. 15 and sent to St. John's of the American Hockey League. He tipped a Brent Burns shot for his first goal and beat goalie Devan Dubnyk on a breakaway for his second of the game.



Atkinson scored four goals to help the Blue Jackets sweep a home-and-home against the Canadiens. He had his third career hat trick in a 5-2 win at Nationwide Arena on Jan. 25, then added a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win at Bell Centre the following night. Atkinson has 17 goals and 32 points in 50 games this season, and is on pace to surpass his career-highs of 22 goals and 40 points.



Eichel had back-to-back multipoint games, assisting on two goals in a 6-3 loss to the New York Rangers on Monday and scoring twice, including the game-winning goal, in a 3-2 victory against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday. Eichel tied the score with a power-play goal in the second period before scoring unassisted 1:08 into the third. His 16 goals are one behind Dylan Larkin of the Detroit Red Wings for the rookie lead; his 34 points are second to Artemi Panarin of the Chicago Blackhawks.
