Bowen Byram Out Against Jets With Upper-Body Injury

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram (upper body) is day-to-day and won't play on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. This will be Byram's second absence this season, after he missed one game at the start of the month for personal reasons. Since moving from Buffalo, Byram has struggled to meet his usual standards. He has recorded one assist and a minus-seven rating in his first six appearances for the Blackhawks. Still, Byram will be a big loss for Chicago, as he leads the team with 24:42 of ice time per game. With Byram out, Ethan Del Mastro is expected to join the blue line, but he offers little value from a fantasy perspective.

Bowen Byram on Track to Return Tuesday

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram (personal) practiced on Monday, according to Scott Powers of The Athletic. Due to a family matter, Byram wasn't available for Saturday's matchup with Buffalo. Now that he is back with the team, we'll likely see Byram back in action Tuesday against St. Louis. In his first two outings with the Blackhawks, Byram carried a heavy workload, averaging 24:59 of ice time. While Byram hasn't registered any points with his new team yet, his expanded role in Chicago could put him in contention for a 50-point season.

Bowen Byram Won't Play Saturday

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram (personal) won't play in Saturday's clash against the Buffalo Sabres. Byram was supposed to meet his former team, but he is attending to a family matter and will skip the game. The Blackhawks acquired Byram from the Sabres this offseason and signed him to a whopping six-year, $75 million extension. Byram hasn't found his footing in Chicago yet, failing to register any points and posting a minus-four rating through his first two games. After allowing 11 goals in two games, the Blackhawks are planning several defensive changes, with Kevin Korchinski and Ethan Del Mastro expected to enter the lineup.

Bowen Byram to Become NHL's Highest-Paid Defenseman

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram has agreed to a historic six-year, $75 million contract extension. The deal will take effect in 2027-28 and carry a $12.5 million cap hit, the highest ever for a defenseman. Pittsburgh's Erik Karlsson currently has the largest cap hit among defensemen at $11.5 million. Chicago acquired Byram last week in a deal that included the No. 4 pick in the 2026 draft. His current cap hit stands at $6.25 million. In 2025-26, the 25-year-old blue-liner registered a career-high 42 points (11 goals, 31 assists) in 82 appearances. With his eye-popping new contract, Byram will face high expectations, and it will be interesting to see how well he handles the situation.

Blackhawks Give Up No. 4 Pick in Trade for Bowen Byram

Defenseman Bowen Byram will suit up for the Chicago Blackhawks next season after being acquired in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. In the deal, Chicago also acquired forward Jordan Greenway, giving up the fourth and 45th picks in the 2026 draft and defensemen Louis Crevier. This marks the first time in 15 years that a team has traded a top-five draft pick in the NHL. It came as part of a deal for a player who could become an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Byram had a strong year in Buffalo, amassing a career-high 42 points (11 goals, 31 assists) in 82 games. He also recorded 109 SOG, 93 blocks, 50 hits, and a plus-15 rating. On a Chicago team in dire need of more quality on defense, Byram figures to play a major role and log plenty of ice time.

Bowen Byram Ties Franchise Record With Fourth Postseason Goal

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram potted a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-2 Game 1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, tying the franchise record for most goals scored in a postseason by a defenseman. Byram has found the back of the net four times on 17 SOG, adding two assists in seven outings. He is tied for the fifth-most points among defensemen this postseason. While Rasmus Dahlin has typically been the star man on the Sabres' blue line, it's been the Byram show so far in the playoffs. Bizarrely, he hadn't scored a single goal in his first 28 Stanley Cup Playoffs appearances before erupting for four goals in six games.

Bowen Byram Extends Goal Streak to Three Games

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram continued to make a big impact in the first-round series against the Boston Bruins on Sunday, contributing a goal and an assist in a huge 6-1 road win. He has recorded back-to-back multi-point games and is only the third defenseman in franchise history to score in three consecutive postseason outings. Meanwhile, Owen Power has become the third rearguard in NHL history to record an assist in each of his first four career playoff games. Boston has limited Rasmus Dahlin to one assist and no goals, but the Sabres' blue line has still played a major role on offense. World-class performances from the likes of Byram have given the team a chance to finish the series in five games on Tuesday.

Bowen Byram Available Friday

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram (undisclosed) is expected to join the lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 24-year-old was injured in a game against the Detroit Red Wings on Sept. 27 and missed several practice sessions this week. Fortunately for the Sabres, Byram has recovered from an undisclosed injury ahead of the team's preseason finale. Byram is a two-way talent and appears set for a productive fantasy campaign. During his first full season with the Sabres in 2024-25, Byram recorded 38 points (seven goals, 31 assists), 94 shots, 116 blocks, and 75 hits in 82 contests with a plus-11 rating.

Bowen Byram Considered Day-to-Day

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day. He sustained an undisclosed injury in Saturday's 5-2 preseason win against the Detroit Red Wings. Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said Byram might skate on his own Tuesday and won't play against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday. The Sabres begin their regular season against the New York Rangers on Oct. 9, so Byram still has around a week and a half to get healthy. He's expected to deliver a big season after signing a two-year, $12.5 million contract extension in the summer. In 2024-25, Byram had a career-high 38 points (seven goals, 31 assists) with 94 shots, 116 blocks, and 75 hits across 82 outings.

Bowen Byram Signs Two-Year Deal with Sabres

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram has reached an agreement on a two-year, $12.5 million contract extension. Byram was a restricted free agent and avoided a salary arbitration hearing that Buffalo had elected. 2024-25 marked Byram's first full season with the Sabres, and he made a significant impact with a career-high 38 points (seven goals, 31 assists) in 82 games. Additionally, Byram was tied for the team-high with 116 blocks. Byram has become a capable two-way defenseman and is well-positioned to continue developing his game over the next few years.

Sabres Gauging Market for Bowen Byram

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram may need to pack his bags for another move this offseason. After acquiring him from the Colorado Avalanche for forward Casey Mittelstadt in March 2024, the Sabres are reportedly seeking takers for the pending restricted free agent. "There's no doubt his name is out there," Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman said on the 32 Thoughts podcast. "There's no doubt they're gauging market value on him, and we'll see where this takes us. There is definitely noise around the Byram name and the Buffalo Sabres." Byram, the fourth pick in the 2019 draft, is coming off a two-year, $7.7 million contract. He had a career year in 2024-25 with 38 points (seven goals, 31 assists), 94 shots, 116 blocks, and 75 hits in 82 games. At 23 years old, Byram already has 246 regular-season games under his belt, and his fantasy stock is likely to keep rising, whether he stays in Buffalo or moves on.

Bowen Byram Good To Go Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram (lower body) will return from an eight-game absence Wednesday versus Washington. The 22-year-old has been in an offensive slump for a while, but only Devon Toews has averaged more even-strength minutes among the Avalanche defensemen this season. In 39 outings, Byram has tallied six goals and six assists with 49 shots on net, 43 hits, and 54 blocks. Jack Johnson (undisclosed) will come out of the lineup on Wednesday to make room for Byram.

Bowen Byram Expected To Miss 1-2 Weeks

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram (lower body) is expected to be out for 1-2 weeks. He was injured on Thursday versus Dallas and has landed on Injured Reserve, which will definitely keep him sidelined for seven days. Caleb Jones replaced Byram in the lineup in Saturday's matchup against Florida. He played only 13 minutes and certainly doesn't have the same impact as Byram. The latter is tied for third on the team with 54 blocks and has registered 43 hits across 39 games, with six goals and six assists posted on the offensive end.

Bowen Byram Hurt In Thursday's Contest

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's clash with Dallas. He exited a dramatic 5-4 overtime win in the third period after logging only 12:54 of ice time. The 22-year-old has notched 12 points (six goals, six assists) across 39 games and has been very active without the puck, posting 43 hits and 54 blocks. Caleb Jones, who's had a seven-game stint as a healthy scratch, is Byram's possible replacement if he has to sit out some action. Colorado returns to the ice on Saturday to face Florida.

Bowen Byram Sits Out Practice

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram (undisclosed) wasn't available for practice on Tuesday. Colorado head coach Jared Bednar told reporters that Byram and Cale Makar (undisclosed), who was also absent, are "banged up" following Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Sabres. Bednar expects to have at least one of them available for Wednesday's matchup against the Blues. Makar is the bigger piece on the Avalanche blue line, but Byram also plays a very effective game. He has picked up two points (one goal, one assist) in eight games with 11 shots, 13 hits, 13 blocks, and a plus-two rating.

Bowen Byram Re-Signed By Avalanche For Two Years

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram has signed a new two-year deal with the team, landing a contract that's worth $7.7 million. The 22-year-old has shown a lot of upside, but injuries have sadly kept him off the ice a lot of times. Bryam was limited to 42 games in 2022-23, posting 10 goals and 24 points. He will be desperate to avoid running into further health issues after playing in just 91 regular-season games during his entry-level contract.

Bowen Byram Good To Go Tuesday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram (illness) will return from a two-game absence Tuesday against Edmonton. He has shaken off an illness bug and should play a major role at the back, with Cale Makar (lower body) set to miss another game. Byram, who has notched 23 points across 39 outings this season, will partner Jack Johnson on the second defensive pairing, pushing Kurtis MacDermid out of the lineup. He will also skate with the second power-play unit.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram (lower body) will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Pittsburgh. He's had a long road to recovery from a lower-body injury and will skate in his first game since Nov. 4. Byram will go on the third defensive pairing with Brad Hunt. The 21-year-old has played in only 10 games this season, registering two goals and three assists with 11 shots, 15 hits and 11 blocks.

Bowen Byram Expected To Be Back After The Break

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram (lower body) is expected to return to action right after the All-Star break. He's been out of action with a lower-body injury since early November but has now been practicing with a full-contact jersey, moving closer to a return to the lineup. The Avalanche have their first game after the break on Feb. 7 versus Pittsburgh. Byram skated in 10 games before getting injured, registering two goals and three assists with 11 shots on net, 15 hits and 11 blocks.

Bowen Byram Dealing With A Lower-Body Injury

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram was a late scratch for Saturday's matchup against Columbus, with the team announcing that he is dealing with a lower-body injury. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day and it seems pretty likely that he will be back for the next game, as Byram was on the ice for warmups pregame and Colorado won't be in action until Thursday as the team travels back from Finland. Kurtis MacDermid was able to get some game action with Byram out on Saturday, while it was Cale Makar who led the Avalanche blue line again, posting three assists in a 5-1 win. He had five points in total in the two games played against the Blue Jackets in Tampere.
