The Avalanche and Jack Eichel nearly became a $50 million marriage, and I believe the unexpected highlight reel that is rookie defenseman Bo Byram allowed for that possibility.
Byram, 20, became the youngest Avalanche defenseman to score two goals in a game on Wednesday against Columbus when he finished with his first career three-point night. He assisted and scored late third-period goals as Colorado rallied to force overtime and collect a point with a handful of key players out with injuries.
Byram logged 25:17 and was the Avs’ best player. It was his coming-out party.
