Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's clash against the Calgary Flames. The 22-year-old was injured on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers and was unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Seattle Kraken. On Monday, Byfield scored in his fourth consecutive game. He has a career-high 23 goals in 80 appearances this season, adding 31 assists. If he returns, Byfield may see increased usage in Thursday's game due to the absences of Adrian Kempe (rest) and Phillip Danault (rest).
Los Angeles Kings center Quinton Byfield (upper body) exited Monday's contest early due to an upper-body injury. The team did not provide an update on his status after the contest.

Before exiting the game, Byfield would score his 23rd goal of the campaign on the power-play in just over 14 minutes of ice time. This was his fourth-straight game finding the back of the net. Over his last eight games, Byfield has tallied 10 points, with four of them coming on the power play. If cleared to return in the playoffs, he would be viewed as a strong play in DFS competitions.

Quinton Byfield To Return Wednesday Versus Predators
Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield (illness) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's road game versus the Nashville Predators.

He has spent the vast majority of the season as the club's No. 1 left winger alongside Kings captain Anze Kopitar and right winger Adrian Kempe. Byfield's fantasy stock is rising but we would like to see him get more shots on goal moving forward.

Quinton Byfield Tallies Two Assists In Tuesday's Win

Byfield has slowly started to figure out life in a first-line role, bagging five points across the past four games. He had only one point in his first five appearances this season. The 21-year-old is still far from being a must-have player in fantasy hockey, but his stock is on the rise, and Byfield should be able to produce plenty more offense on a team that's averaging a league-high 4.33 goals per game.

Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield suffered a fractured ankle in his team's preseason contest with the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday.
