This hasn’t been the first goalless drought for Paul Byron during his tenure with the Montreal Canadiens. He went through a 13-game slump in the 2016-17 season and another 12-game one the year after. What’s unique about this one, in particular, is it’s been the longest Byron has gone to start the season without a goal.
It took only two games for Byron to score his first with the Montreal Canadiens after the team picked him up off the waiver wire via the Calgary Flames. The same thing happened last season as the 30-year-old put up two goals in his second game while the 2017 and 2018 campaigns took five and seven games, respectively.
