Bryson scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 loss to Florida.

Wed, Jan 07, 2026 at 1:36 PM

Bryson has gone six games without a point after failing to find the scoresheet in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.

Scouting Report

Is a quick, puck-carrying defenseman who makes good decisions. Is also a fine passer. His lack of size (5'9") is a problem in his own zone, but he is showing a capability of playing solid minutes in the right situations. Will not put up enormous offensive numbers, but can move the puck effectively and has room for his game to grow.

Long Range Potential: Solid puck-moving defenseman.
