As we speculated this morning, Dave Scatchard was returned to the Milwaukee Admirals this morning. With the return of J. P. Dumont, Scatchard's time with the Predators came to a close for the time being.
Mike Santorelli, who scored a goal on Tuesday against the Sharks and Andreas Thuresson who has been impressive in recent games, were other candidates to return to the AHL but remain with the Predators at this time.
Here is the full press release from the Predators...
