Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Remains out for Thursday's game
Byram (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Red Wings, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Byram continues to deal with an upper-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for a sixth consecutive matchup. However, he skated in a non-contact sweater during the team's morning skates Tuesday and Thursday, so he at least appears to be trending in the right direction.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Won't play Tuesday
Byram (upper body) won't play against the Kings on Tuesday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Unavailable for Sunday
Byram (upper body) is set to miss Sunday's game against Florida, per Scott Powers of The Athletic.
Byram also missed Chicago's past three games. He has an assist in six appearances this campaign. Byram should resume his top-four role once he's healthy.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Still out Friday
Byram (upper body) is not in the lineup versus the Canadiens on Friday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Byram was considered day-to-day as of Oct. 15, but he hasn't gotten healthy enough to return even after an extended break between games for the Blackhawks. Ethan Del Mastro remains in the lineup in Byram's absence.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Not playing Saturday
Byram (upper body) won't play against Dallas on Saturday, according to Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Considered day-to-day
Byram (upper body) has been deemed day-to-day, indicating that he will miss Thursday's home clash against the Jets, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
It's unclear whether Byram picked up his upper-body injury in Tuesday's contest against the Penguins or in Wednesday's practice, but it will cost the blueliner his second game of the season Thursday. The 25-year-old Byram was just beginning to find his groove, as he picked up his first point of the season on Tuesday to go along with five shots on net, two hits and nine blocked shots across six games. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Stars.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Records first point with Chicago
Byram recorded a power-play assist, compiled a plus-1 rating, served four PIM and dished out two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.
Byram picked up his first regular-season point with the Blackhawks on Tuesday, as he slid the secondary helper on Roman Kantserov's power-play goal. The 25-year-old Byram has had a slow start to the season offensively after scoring a hat trick in the preseason, but he's battled defensively across the regular season with two hits and nine blocked shots across six appearances. He projects to be the team's power-play quarterback moving forward, and with Connor Bedard back in the lineup to lead the charge offensively, Byram's 2026-27 campaign could take off. He's a medium-risk, high reward option on the blue line in fantasy, making him an excellent player to stash in standard formats.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Back with team
Byram (personal) participated in Monday's practice, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Byram missed Saturday's 4-3 loss to Buffalo because of a family matter. He didn't get to play against his former team, but he should return to the lineup against St. Louis on Tuesday. Byram skated on the top power-play unit during Monday's practice.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Unavailable Saturday
Byram is attending to a family matter and won't play against Buffalo on Saturday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Byram has gone without a point in two games this season, but he has contributed three blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. With Byram out for at least one game and Sam Rinzel a healthy scratch, Kevin Korchinski and Ethan Del Mastro will play against the Sabres on Saturday.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Hat trick hero in debut
Byram scored three goals, including the OT winner, placed five shots on net and recorded two hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime preseason win against the Wild.
In his first official appearance since signing a six-year, $75 million contract with Chicago, Byram found favor with his new fanbase by scoring a hat trick. He found the back of the net in the second and third periods before placing the puck five hole past Minnesota's Calvin Pickard in overtime to secure the exhibition win. The 25-year-old blueliner is coming off a career year in 2025-26, where he posted 11 goals, 42 points, 109 shots on net, 50 hits and 93 blocked shots across 82 regular-season games. If Monday's showing was any indication of what's to come for the rising star, Byram may have found his new home in Chicago, where he'll likely lead the team's blueline at even strength and on the power play.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Cashes in big time
Byram agreed to terms on a six-year, $75 million contract with Chicago on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Byram's deal will make him the highest-paid defenseman in the NHL when it kicks in next season, surpassing Erik Karlsson's $11.5 million AAV. With the NHL salary cap rising, the 25-year-old Byram is unlikely to hold that title for long. With Buffalo last year, he notched 11 goals and 31 assists in 82 regular-season games. He should be capable of topping those numbers in 2026-27, especially if he can cement himself as the quarterback for Chicago's No. 1 power-play unit.

Blackhawks' Bowen Byram: Headlines trade to Chicago
Byram and Jordan Greenway were traded to the Blackhawks from the Sabres on Tuesday in exchange for Louis Crevier and the fourth and 45th overall picks in 2026, freelance insider Frank Seravalli reports.
Byram is the biggest piece of the trade for now, though the Sabres' asset management is a big part of the deal. The 25-year-old Byram will likely be in discussions with Chicago's brass on an extension as he enters a contract year. With the Sabres in 2025-26, Byram had 11 goals and 42 points, both career highs, over 82 regular-season games. He added 109 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 50 hits, 48 PIM and a plus-15 rating. Byram is one of the most experienced blueliners on the Blackhawks' roster and should be in contention for top-four minutes and power-play time.

Sabres' Bowen Byram: Tallies on power play
Byram scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens in Game 1.
Byram has provided quality offense from the blue line this postseason with four goals, two assists and 17 shots on net over seven games. This was his first power-play point of the postseason. The defenseman also has six blocked shots, five hits and a plus-7 rating. He's a lock to see top-four minutes heading into Game 2.

Sabres' Bowen Byram: Goal streak at three games
Byram produced a goal and an assist Sunday during the Sabres' 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4 of their first-round series.
It was the second straight two-point performance for Byram, and the third straight game in which he's found the back of the net. The 24-year-old blueliner has caught fire at the right time for Buffalo, and he'll look to stay locked in as his team attempts to advance to the second round with a win in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Sabres' Bowen Byram: Two-point effort in win Thursday
Byram produced a goal and an assist Thursday during the Sabres' 3-1 win over the Bruins in Game 3 of their first-round series.
The 24-year-old blueliner got Buffalo on the board midway through the second period before helping to set up Alex Tuch's game-winner early in the third. Byram delivered a career-high 11 goals and 42 points over 82 games during the regular season, and he's stepped up his output to begin the playoffs with two goals and three points in three contests.
