Career
As a junior he played with Billy Harris at the Toronto Marlboros in the Ontario Hockey Association. In the NHL Amateur Draft 1972, the Montréal Canadiens chose him in the first round as a joint fourth.
He began the 1972/73 season with a few games at the Nova Scotia Voyageurs of the American Hockey League, but after a few games brought him the Canadiens in the NHL. In his first year he won the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens. After a decent rookie season, he increased his performances on. In a series with Guy Lafleur and Pete Mahovlich, he became a prolific striker. At the Canada Cup in 1976, he was the Canadian team that won the title. After 45 goals in the 1975/76 season, he led the NHL with 60 goals in the 1976/77 season on. Only in 1993 was surpassed with Luc Robitaille, a left winger this brand. Meanwhile, Jacques Lemaire had taken the place of Mahovlich in his series. Also in the Challenge Cup in 1979, which was held in place of the NHL All-Star Game, Shutt was in the squad. At the end of the season 1978/79 he won with the Canadiens fourth Stanley Cup in a row.
Shortly after the start of the 1984/85 season he was released to the Los Angeles Kings. There he played the season to end and hung at the end of the season his skates on the nail.
