NASHVILLE, Tenn.
John Scott had a transformative weekend at the NHL All-Star Game, and he hopes it might help him land another job in or out of the game.
“I’d like to think I opened a few doors,” he said.
The journeyman enforcer went from improbable All-Star to MVP of the league’s midseason showcase Sunday while captaining the Pacific Division to a 1-0 win in the championship game a 3-on-3 tournament.
“It worked out for everybody,” Scott said.
Yes, it did.
The 33-year-old Scott was voted into the All-Star Game by fans even though he had scored just five goals with six teams in his eight-year career. He played for the Arizona Coyotes when he was named an All-Star, but was later stunned by a trade to Montreal.
