Scott Harrington (born March 10, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman currently playing for the Cleveland Monsters in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL). Harrington was selected by (and previously played for) the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round, 54th overall, of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.[1]
Early life[]
Harrington was born on March 10, 1993, in Kingston, Ontario,[2] to parents Pat and Cindy.[3] His younger sister Holly also played ice hockey growing up.[4]
Playing career[]
Pittsburgh Penguins[]
Having been drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round, 54th overall, of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Harrington made his NHL debut on December 18, 2014, in a 1–0 Pittsburgh overtime win against the Colorado Avalanche.[5]
Toronto Maple Leafs[]
On July 1, 2015, Harrington was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a multi-player blockbuster deal for Phil Kessel.[6] Following the trade, Harrington impressed at the Maple Leafs' training camp, making the NHL roster for the opening night of the 2015–16 season. However, injuries plagued Harrington's season, and he would only play 32 games collectively for the Maple Leafs and their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.
Columbus Blue Jackets[]
On June 25, 2016, shortly after the conclusion of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Harrington was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets (alongside a conditional fifth-round draft pick) in exchange for forward Kerby Rychel. The condition of the fifth-round pick would have been satisfied if Harrington was placed on waivers and claimed during the 2016–17 season, which did not occur.[7]
During the 2017–18 season, Harrington earned consistent playing time after Ryan Murray was injured, resulting in his playing 24 consecutive games. As a result, he also set a career-high with two goals and three assists for five points while also averaging 13:24 per game.[8] Prior to the start of the 2018–19 season, Harrington suffered an upper body injury in a preseason game on September 28 and missed the Blue Jackets first two regular season games.[9] Upon returning to the lineup, Harrington set new career highs in assists and points with two goals and 15 assists for 17 points in a career-high 73 games.[2] He also helped the Blue Jackets advance past the first round of the postseason for the first time in franchise history by recording four assists through 10 playoffs games.[10]
Harrington was a consistent healthy scratch during the 2019–20 season, sitting out 22 of 30 games by December.[11] However, as a result of injuries to the Blue Jackets lineup, he suited up for 39 of the team's 70 regular-season games. Harrington finished the regular season with one goal and seven assists for eight points.[12]
