Paul Byron scored two goals and added an assist, leading the Canadiens to a 5-1 victory over the Penguins on Saturday night.
"Our plan was just to skate and forecheck relentlessly," Byron said. "When you give (the Penguins) space to skate, they're going to make plays all night. But when you close lanes, I think that makes it hard for them."
