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.

Impact 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 him to miss 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 return will be Saturday's clash against the Stars.

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.

Impact 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.

Wake Up and Watch Bowen Byram's Hat Trick in His Blackhawks (Preseason) Debut Bowen Byram had one heck of a debut for the Blackhawks.

SEPTEMBER 22 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

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.

Impact 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.
