BOWEN BYRAM NEWS

Three assists in last two games Byram put up two assists in a 4-3 shootout victory over Vegas on Saturday.

Impact Byram has three assists in his last two games, and he has a career high 32 points (seven goals, 25 assists) in 65 games. Most impressively, he made a great play in the last 30 seconds of the game that allowed Rasmus Dahlin to score the game-tying goal with 14 seconds left. Byram is an elite skater who handles the puck well, but to this point in his career, he has struggled to remain healthy and on the ice. Knock on wood, but Byram is on pace to best his career best 73 games set last season. His value will rise in future when he gets more power-play time.

Contributes positively in defeat Byram held a plus-2 rating and recorded one shot on goal in 24:59 of ice time in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Byram's streak of futility has reached five games, and there are some concerns that perhaps the 23-year old, who's never appeared in more than the 59 NHL games he has this season, could be wearing down. However, Byram has still usually been contributing positively to games, like Monday when he was a plus-2, and no pointless streak of his has lasted longer than five games this season. Still playing on the left side of Rasmus Dahlin and on the power play, expect this streak to end soon.
