Byram (lower body) was labeled day-to-day by coach Jared Bednar, who told reporters, "As far as I know, that's day-to-day. But we'll know more when we get home," Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second time since the beginning of March that Byram has been sidelined with an injury. When healthy, the 19-year-old blueliner has registered two assists, 20 shots and 31 hits in 18 contests while averaging 17:26 of ice time. Byram should continue to push for more opportunities once fully fit but may struggle for heavy minutes considering the number of young defensemen currently filling out the Avs' blue line.

Byram (upper body) skated 15:58 and had two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Byram wasn't able to get in on the fun on offense -- he was one of four Avalanche skaters to fail to record a shot on goal. The 19-year-old will likely see bottom-four usage on the blue line. The rookie rearguard has just two assists, 21 PIM, 24 hits and 17 snots on net in 16 games this year.
