After being assigned to the Colorado Avalanche’s AHL affiliate, the Colorado Eagles, for a two game conditioning stint Bowen Byram has been recalled by the Avalanche. Byram is travelling with the team on their three-game road trip this upcoming week and could get back in the lineup as soon as tonight in Pittsburgh.
A return to game action comes after a 37 game break from the team for Byram as he was dealing with concussion problems.
This is the third time in the young defenseman’s career he’s missed significant time due to concussion problems. Last season Byram was sidelined for nine games after a series in Arizona which included a fight and then 24 regular season games and the playoffs last year when Keegan Kolesar boarded him from behind in a 5-1 Avalanche win on March 25th.
