Wallace Makes NHL Return; Gomez Helps Spoil It

Comments (0) |

Winger Tim Wallace of Anchorage returned to the NHL today, when he played for Pittsburgh in a 5-3 loss at Montreal.

Wallace logged a modest 5:50 of ice time, with an even rating. But, hey, he's in the NHL, and making a pro-rated $500,000 for however long he stays up.

Scott Gomez, the veteran center for the Canadiens, pitched in with one goal and one assist -- and a -2 -- in 20:54 of ice. Of course, he should probably be putting in a hard day's work -- he's an $8 million a year player, and that's a pretty sweet gig.
