Blackhawks D Bowen Byram to miss home-coming against Buffalo Sabres because of a family matter
Chicago Blackhawks' top defenseman Bowen Byram will miss the team's homecoming game against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday due to a family matter. Coach Jeff Blashill announced the decision, noting that Byram was preparing to face his former team for the first time since being traded to Chicago in a multi-player deal in June. The 25-year-old Byram, who signed a six-year, $75 million contract with the Blackhawks, had previously played 21 goals and 89 points in 182 games with Buffalo.
He has yet to register a point this season as the Blackhawks started with two losses. The team will next host the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday.
