Bobby Ryan lands new job after scary relapse

This has all the makings to be a great comeback story in the National Hockey League, albeit off the ice. 

Former NHL forward Bobby Ryan is joining the Coming In Hot podcast, focusing on his former club in the Ottawa Senators: 

Ryan took a leave of absence from the Senators two seasons ago in order to deal with personal issues stemming from alcohol abuse. But he completed his recovery, and scored a hat trick for good measure with Ottawa in his first game back. He was later awarded the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for his perseverance.

He signed a one-year deal with Detroit during the 2020 offseason and soon made team history by scoring four goals in his first three games with the team. He'd finish the year with seven goals and seven assists in 33 games played, though he wasn't re-signed for the 2021-22 campaign. However, he would make unfortunate news with a very public relapse by being arrested for public intoxication in a Nashville airport earlier this year. We certainly hope that he's able to face his demons with courage and overcome this major obstacle moving forward. 

A veteran of 866 NHL games played between the Anaheim Ducks, Ottawa Senators and Red Wings, Ryan has tallied 261 career goals with 308 assists, along with 470 PIM.
