Tell me exactly how sitting will help a player who is getting lots of chances, has great effort, is a good defensive player and key on the PK, and is a heart and soul guy generally get the result you want, which is to score on a breakaway.

Again, it's not just about the breakaways. The PK isn't doing a good job of killing penalties, despite his effort. The team isn't scoring when he's on the ice, despite his heart and soul. It's about letting someone else play to see if the team results improve, and if the game or two off will also help Byron as it has helped many of the other players scratched this season.
