Lights the lamp in win Byram netted a goal, placed two shots on target and had three blocks in Monday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Just 15 seconds after Jason Zucker scored the Sabres' first goal of the night, Byram found the back of the net to give Buffalo a 2-0 lead. With the twine finder, the 24-year-old defenseman is up to five goals, 12 points, 38 shots on goal and 31 blocks through 26 games this year. He's tied with Mattias Samuelson for the second-most points from Buffalo's blue line this season. Byram is trending upwards offensively with seven points in his last 11 games. He has 22 shots on goal and 11 blocks in that stretch, proving he can hold his own in category-based fantasy leagues. With the Sabres just three points out of a playoff spot in the Atlantic Division, Byram should remain heavily involved in all situations, making him a decent option in deep fantasy leagues.

Nets shootout winner Byram recorded the winning tally in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Capitals.

Impact While Byram wasn't able to find the scoresheet in regulation or overtime, he scored the lone point of the shootout to send Buffalo home with its first win since Oct. 24. Even though Byram wasn't credited with a point Saturday, he still has four points across his last six games. His value in fantasy is best served for deeper leagues, but the 24-year-old defenseman has steadily improved his offensive numbers each season, making him a name to keep an eye on in all formats.
