Evgeny Svechnikov will be a healthy scratch Tuesday vs. Montreal.

Svehcnikov had dressed for the Sharks' previous two games but will head back to the press box Tuesday in place of Jeffrey Viel. The 26-year-old has three goals and three assists with 17 SOG through 18 games played while playing bottom-six minutes averaging only 10:41 TOI.

The Jets have signed Evgeny Svechnikov to a one-year deal worth $750K.

Svechnikov was in Jets' training camp on a PTO and earned a one-year deal. Svechnikov is a former first-round pick (No.19 overall) of the Detroit Red Wings but injuries stunted his development over the years. In 41 career NHL games with Detroit, the 24-year-old had five goals and seven assists (12 points).

The Red Wings have recalled Evgeny Svechnikov from Grand Rapids (AHL).

Svechnikov has scored one goal with three assists (four points) in three games with the Griffins this season. He has been called-up once already but has not made his season debut with the Red Wings. With Adam Erne out, there's a hole in the Red Wings' middle-6 but it's unclear whether or not Svechnikov will fill it on Tuesday. He has four points (2G / 2A) in 16 career NHL games.
