Byram (head) is not in the lineup Saturday versus the Senators, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

Byram (head) may not play Saturday at Ottawa after the Avalanche recalled Jacob MacDonald from AHL Colorado on Friday, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
MacDonald, who served as a hybrid defenseman/forward during his previous stint with the Avs this season, will join the team in Ottawa. Dater believes the callup is an obvious sign that Byram will not be in the lineup Saturday. MacDonald and Kurtis MacDermid, another hybrid player, are expected to see time against the Senators. Byram was held out of Thursday's win over the Canadiens with what head coach Jared Bednar referred to as a "head-related" injury. Byram has sustained multiple concussions during his short NHL career.

Byram (head) will not play Thursday against Montreal, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byram has been the victim of multiple concussions over the last two seasons and is still feeling the effects. He scored a goal with eight shots over his last two games following a six-game absence. Kurtis MacDermid will suit up in his place Thursday.

Byram (concussion) scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Byram logged 22:00 of ice time Saturday after Ryan Murray left with a lower-body injury early in the first period. The 20-year-old Byram handled the heavy workload just fine, cashing in a goal at 6:19 of the second period. The blueliner is up to four goals, five assists, 22 shots and a plus-6 rating through 12 contests. As long as he can avoid injuries, he should carry a fair amount of fantasy value while filling a second-pairing role.

Byram (concussion) is not in Friday's lineup against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Byram has missed the last six games while dealing with a concussion. There was a chance that he could've been cleared for Friday's game, so it's still possible that he gets back into the lineup Saturday against Nashville.

Byram (concussion) could be cleared to play Friday in Dallas, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
