Byram missed Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day. The 24-year-old will hope to be ready for opening night after completing all 82 games played in 2024-25 for the first time in his five-year career. The former 4th overall pick (2019) is expected to play a huge part in Buffalo's defence again in 2025-26, after putting up seven goals and a career-high 38 points last season.
