EDGE Analysis

Byram shed the non-contact jersey he wore during Monday's on-ice activity and is nearing a return, possibly for Colorado's next scheduled game, Sunday at home against the Ducks. "He's done a lot of work off the ice and in the gym. Coming out yesterday, he was non-contact jersey, felt great. Today, contact. He could be a possibility for us (to play) on Jan. 2nd," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. Along with the good news about Byram, Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog (lower body) was removed from injured reserve.
