Scandella only played 20 games for the Canadiens. In those 20 games, Scandella had 1 goal, 2 assists, 3 points, and was a plus 1. Combined between the Sabers, and Canadiens in 2019-2020, Scandella has played 51 games with 4 goals, 8 assists, 12 points, and is a plus 10.Overall Scandella is currently in his 10th NHL season. Scandella has played 569 games with 42 goals, 94 assists, 136 points, and a -28.
In the playoffs, Scandella has played 39 games with 6 goals, 3 assists, 9 points, and a -1.
Scandella was drafted by the Minnesota Wild in the 2nd round (55th overall) in the 2008 draft.
To make room for Scandella, the Blues have played defenseman Jay Bouwmeester on long-term injury reserve and defenseman Niko Mikkola has been sent down to the San Antonio Rampage; the Blues' (AHL) affiliate.
Scandella is in a contract year and should be able to help give the Blues a veteran defenseman. Scandella is the nephew of former Blues left wing Sergio Momesso. Momesso spent 4 seasons with the Blues during his NHL career.

Welcome Marco. Your first job is to teach newcomer Justin Faulk how to fit in with a great bunch of guys and earn your keep. Unlike Faulk who has his dough Marco will need to play for his future. Should be be a good fit. Get to it man.
