300 -- Number of career NHL games for Paul Byron. The speedy forward hit the milestone on Tuesday at the Bell Centre, in what was his 162nd game as a Hab. 7 -- Number of defensemen who suited up for Montreal against Columbus. The Canadiens were without forward Torrey Mitchell, who was sidelined with flu symptoms, leaving room for the extra rearguard. 7:06 -- Number of minutes of ice time for Victor Mete on Tuesday. The 19-year-old D-man notably moonlighted as a forward for parts of the night on a line with Jacob de la Rose and Byron Froese in Mitchell's absence. 7:46 -- Number of minutes left on the clock when Byron got the Habs on the board with a big third-period equalizer.
