Wild forward Jason Pominville played 37 games with Scott in Buffalo before he was traded to Minnesota at the NHL trade deadline during the lockout-shortened 2013 season.
Pominville said he enjoyed the back-and-forth between Scott and Brent Burns, Scott's former teammate with the San Jose Sharks.
"I thought it was perfect. He's a great guy and was a good guy to have in the locker room. Everyone really enjoyed being around him. He's a funny guy, a fun guy to be around and kept the room really loose," Pominville said of Scott. "I have nothing but good things to say about him. What happened with the game was awesome, the way it turned out."
Pominville said he was happy Scott decided to make the trip to Nashville, noting that he represented a number of players who typically don't get the chance to play in the game.
"I think he represented the guys who have been around awhile and have one of the toughest jobs in the league. He's done it well and done it for a long time, so it's nice he decided to go and represent everyone that's been in that position before," Pominville said. "And the way he played, the way he handled himself; even in front of the camera was great. The way the fans reacted was even better.
"...He exceeded all expectations and did really well. It was nice to see him get rewarded with the MVP as well."
