Finally a playoff goal scorer, Bowen Byram showing Stanley Cup pedigree for Sabres

BOSTON — Bowen Byram didn’t know what he didn’t know back in 2022. He was 20 and playing in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time in his career, and the Colorado Avalanche leaned on him heavily on their way to winning the Stanley Cup.During Colorado’s run, Byram played more five-on-five minutes than anyone in the final. The Avalanche outshot the Lightning 79-44 during Byram’s five-on-five minutes. He also piled up nine assists in 20 games during those playoffs, but one thing was missing: a goal.Advertisement
