The Montreal Canadiens have recalled forward Nikita Scherbak from the AHL, the team announced Friday.
Scherbak, 22, played two games with the club earlier in the season, and will be available for both of Montreal's contests this weekend. The Habs host the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday, and the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.
In 24 games with Laval this season, Scherbak, a first-round draft pick in 2014, has recorded seven goals and 23 assists.
