The situation goes from bad to worse for Paul Byron and the Montreal Canadiens. The 29-year-old answered the call last night in the first period of their game against the Florida Panthers that saw him connect with a MacKenzie Weegar uppercut.
This was all in response to a hit Byron laid on Weegar back in January that left him injured while Byron was given a three-game suspension. And ironically, it looks as if the shoe is on the other foot.
The team chose not to practice today, but they are making the trip to Columbus ahead of their game against the Blue Jackets.
