Canadiens' Paul Byron: Skates with staff

Byron (hip) skated with a member of the Canadiens' training staff Monday, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

Byron was on ice for a 15-minute stretch, his first such activity since undergoing hip surgery in July. He'll be on the injured list for the first few months of the season and could return by the end of 2021. Byron is a speedy forward that is part of the penalty-kill unit and a member of the team's leadership group.
