Bowen Byram to Miss Game vs. Former Team Due to Family Matter

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram will miss Saturday's game against his former team, the Buffalo Sabres, due to a personal family matter. Byram, who signed a six-year, $75 million deal after being traded from Buffalo in June, has gone pointless through two games this season with a minus-4 rating. With Byram unavailable and Sam Rinzel scratched, defensemen Kevin Korchinski and Ethan Del Mastro are set to step into the lineup.
