“I’ve come a long way to reach that, so it’s definitely a special moment. “I didn’t think I’d be a 20-goal scorer in the NHL,” said Byron, who was claimed on waivers by the Canadiens from Calgary before the start of last season.

Jordie Benn and Paul Byron scored the other goals for the Canadiens Sunday and the 5-foot-9, 160-pound Byron reached the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career and has six goals in the last eight games. On Saturday, centre Phillip Danault ended a 22-game drought. Pacioretty, who leads the team with 33 goals, didn’t score against Ottawa on the weekend, but centre Tomas Plekanec ended a 19-game goalless drought Sunday and defenceman Nathan Beaulieu scored his first goal in 32 games.
