Where does everything stand with the Avs sending Bowen Byram back to the WHL?
Knowing the plan itself was rather simple. “Obviously, I’ll have to play tighter on the defensive side of the puck, which I thought I did well for most of the game,” Byram said. But like I said, I gotta keep moving forward and keep getting better.” Bednar said after the loss he thought Byram looked better against the Stars compared to his first performance against the Golden Knights. … I think that’s a little bit of a learning curve for him and for our guys to be able to dig in and finish off the game.” The Avalanche kept Byram out of the third preseason game against the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center but he did play in a 3-2 overtime win against the Wild the next day at the Pepsi Center. Byram’s final preseason game with the Avalanche came Wednesday in a 4-1 win over the Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena.
