MONTREAL - Paul Byron was up to his usual shootout tricks on Saturday night.

This time around, it was Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith who fell victim to the 29-year-old left winger's prowess in one-on-one situations.

PIT@MTL: Byron dekes out DeSmith in shootout

It was his ninth career tally on 17 total shootout attempts, giving the Canadiens' assistant captain a 52.9% success rate in this scenario.
Six of those goals have also been shootout winners.
With that in mind, here's a look at some of Byron's shootout beauties with the Habs… and we look forward to many, many more, of course!
