Injured Montreal Canadiens forward Paul Byron will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, according to head coach Claude Julien.

Byron sat out the Canadiens' last four games with a lower-body injury and did not travel with the team on their latest road trip.

The injury was sustained in a home contest versus the Dallas Stars on Oct. 30. Byron left the game and did not return.

Byron sits eighth in team scoring with seven points in 11 games.

In other injury news, forward Joel Armia underwent an MRI after leaving Tuesday night's game with a lower-body injury. The team is currently waiting on the results, Julien said Wednesday.
