The Chicago Blackhawks have placed defenseman Byram on injured reserve and recalled a forward ahead of their upcoming road trip, according to a report from Chicago Hockey Now.
The roster move was announced Tuesday as the team prepares for a stretch of games away from the United Center. Specific details regarding the nature of Byram's injury and the identity of the recalled forward were not immediately disclosed.
The Blackhawks' decision to place a player on injured reserve opens a roster spot while the player recovers, allowing the club to add a replacement for the duration of the road trip.
