Shutt was a multidimensional goal-scorer and five-time Stanley Cup champion with the Montreal Canadiens who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1993.

The high-scoring left wing was known for his willingness to go to the front of the net and score on rebounds as much as he was for a pinpoint slap shot that was considered among the best in the NHL during the 1970s and early 1980s.

Shutt finished his NHL career with 424 goals and 817 points in 930 games. He spent 12 of his 13 seasons with the Canadiens, many on a line with two other Hall of Famers, center Jacques Lemaire and right wing Guy Lafleur. Shutt scored at least 30 goals in nine consecutive seasons from 1974-75, his third season in the League, through 1982-83.

In 1976-77, playing with Lemaire and Lafleur, Shutt led the NHL with 60 goals, becoming the first left wing in League history to score that many. His League record for goals scored in a season by a left wing lasted until 1992-93, when Luc Robitaille of the Los Angeles Kings had 63. Alex Ovechkin, who scored 65 goals for the Washington Capitals in 2007-08, is the only other NHL left wing to have 60 goals in a season.

Shutt still holds the League record for most even-strength goals scored in a season by a left wing; he had 52 in 1976-77.

The Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 1972-73, Shutt's rookie season, though he played in only one postseason game. Shutt had a much bigger role in helping the Canadiens win four consecutive Stanley Cup championships, beginning in 1976. He averaged more than one point per game in each postseason from 1976-79 and had 61 points (28 goals, 33 assists) in 53 playoff games during that span. In 99 Stanley Cup Playoff games, Shutt had 98 points (50 goals, 48 assists).

After playing 871 games for the Canadiens, Shutt was traded to the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 18, 1984. He played his final 59 NHL games with the Kings.

Shutt, who was selected to the NHL First All-Star Team in 1976-77 and the Second All-Star Team in 1977-78 and 1979-80, played in three NHL All-Star Games.

After retiring as a player in 1985, Shutt was a commentator on television, then was an assistant with the Canadiens from 1993-97 before working outside of hockey. He suited up for the Canadiens old-timers against their counterparts from the Edmonton Oilers at the first Heritage Classic on Nov. 22, 2003.
