Paul Byron has recorded a respectable 10 points this season after being claimed on waivers by the Montreal Canadiens in October, but the surprising fact is that half those points have come on the penalty kill.

The 26-year-old recorded his league-leading fifth shorthanded point by setting up a Torrey Mitchell tap-in after dancing around New Jersey Devils defenseman Damon Severson, who slid helplessly toward the corner.

Byron entered Wednesday with three goals and one assist while shorthanded.
