Byram was a last-minute scratch for Saturday's game versus Columbus due to a lower-body injury, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Byram took part in line rushes during pregame warmups, so there was no indication that he was in danger of missing Saturday's contest until Colorado's official lineup was released moments before puck drop. At this point Byram can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Predators.

Byram (undisclosed) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

No reason was given for Byram's absence from the lineup. He's gone scoreless through his last four appearances but has picked up two goals and five points through 10 total appearances this year.

Byram logged a power-play assist and four hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Byram is in a groove, earning four of his five points this season in the last three games. The 21-year-old has mostly absorbed top-pairing minutes with Devon Toews (undisclosed) out of the lineup for the last two games. The assist Saturday was Byram's first power-play point of the year, and he's added nine shots on net, 12 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in six contests.

Byram scored a shorthanded goal and added an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Byram helped out on an Evan Rodrigues tally and finished off a shorthanded 3-on-1 play for the Avalanche's second goal. In addition to the two points, Byram went plus-2 with two shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in an all-around productive outing. The 21-year-old blueliner is already up to four points, a plus-5 rating, eight shots, eight hits and six blocks through five contests. Talent has never been the question here -- as long as he's healthy and playing in a top-four role, Byram should be a solid player on the ice and in fantasy.

Byram had one assist, two shots on net, four hits and finished plus-1 over 23:44 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Byram was part of a pretty teamwork goal, stepping up on an offensive foray to set up Mikko Rantanen's second goal of the game. The third-year defenseman was on the ice nearly four minutes more than his season average due to Devon Toews (undisclosed) going back and forth to the locker room. That extra ice time included minutes on the top pair with Cale Makar.

Byram scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Byram tallied just 1:39 into the game after some sloppy play from the Flames. Through two games, the 21-year-old defenseman has put up three shots and three blocked shots while playing in a second-pairing role. If he can stay healthy, he'll have some appeal in deeper redraft formats, though he's unlikely to be more than the Avalanche's third-most productive blueliner behind Cale Makar and Devon Toews.

Byram posted an assist, two shots on goal and eight hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Lightning in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Byram snapped a four-game point drought by setting up Nathan MacKinnon's game-tying goal in the second period. The 21-year-old Byram didn't score in the playoffs, but he earned nine assists and a plus-15 rating with 44 shots on net and 45 hits in 20 contests. The defenseman should be ready to command a top-four role in 2022-23, making him a solid fourth or fifth fantasy blueliner in standard formats.

Byram picked up an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Byram helped out on Gabriel Landeskog's opening tally 7:47 into the first period. The 21-year-old Byram was limited to one assist in four games versus the Oilers in the last round, but he also posted a plus-5 rating in that span. Through 15 playoff appearances, he's up to eight assists, a plus-11 rating, 32 shots, 30 hits and eight PIM.

Byram notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Byram got the puck to Valeri Nichushkin, whose attempted pass deflected off Darnell Nurse's stick and into the net for the Avalanche's first goal. Six of Byram's seven assists in the playoffs have come in the last six games as he's gotten more comfortable in a larger role on the blue line. He's added 29 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-12 rating, though he's yet to net his first postseason goal.

Byram notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Blues in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Byram set up J.T. Compher for a game-tying goal midway through the third period. After a slow start to his postseason career, Byram has found a groove with five helpers in his last three games while playing in a second-pairing role. The 20-year-old has six assists, 24 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-7 rating in 10 outings.
