Bowen Byram’s agent, Darren Ferris, told Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman that he wants the Chicago Blackhawks defenceman to see a specific specialist before returning to the lineup. Friedman relayed the message on Saturday Headlines.

Chicago placed Byram on injured reserve Tuesday, retroactive to Oct. 15, with an upper-body injury. Coach Jeff Blashill had said Monday that the defenceman would see a specialist. Byram was still listed as injured ahead of Saturday’s game in Carolina.
