Tuesday's hockey: Maple Leafs eye Pacioretty; NTDP raise awareness on distracted driving

Montreal Canadiens forward Paul Byron placed on waivers

The Montreal Canadiens have placed Paul Byron on waivers. The move comes as the Canadiens look to clear cap space and make room for other players. Byron has been with the Canadiens since 2015 and has been a valuable member of the team. He is a versatile player who can play both center and wing. He is also a good penalty killer and has been a key part of the Canadiens' success in recent years.

NTDP raise awareness on distracted driving

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is partnering with the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Team Development Program (NTDP) to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving. The campaign, called "Heads Up, Phones Down," features NTDP players talking about the importance of paying attention to the road while driving. The campaign will also include public service announcements and social media posts.

Maple Leafs eye Pacioretty

The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly interested in acquiring forward Max Pacioretty from the Montreal Canadiens. Pacioretty is a veteran player who has scored at least 30 goals in each of the past six seasons. He is also a good playmaker and has been a key part of the Canadiens' success in recent years. The Maple Leafs are looking to add some scoring depth to their lineup and Pacioretty would be a good fit.
