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. The 21-year-old has missed the club's last two games versus the Avalanche and Blues with the illness but appears ready to return for Wednesday's contest. It's been a productive season for the former second-overall pick who has already set career highs with 14 goals, 34 points, 91 shots on goal, 11 power-play points, and a plus-14 rating through 45 games. 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.
Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield set a new career high with his 14th goal of the season and added an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose. Byfield's goal helped the Kings tie things at two in the third period, and he had his assist in a power-play situation when Drew Doughty extended the game with a goal 1:58 from the end of regulation. Byfield had multiple points in a game for the eighth time this season. It's been a good campaign for the 21-year-old, as Byfield has notched 33 points in 44 outings with 88 shots on goal and a plus-12 rating.
Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield provided half of the goals as the team beat Colorado 4-1 on Sunday. L.A. fell behind in the first period, but Byfield scored two consecutive goals to turn things around, and the Kings found their way back to winning ways after going down 2-1 against Washington in the previous game. Byfield is enjoying a solid campaign as part of Los Angeles' first line, scoring six goals and delivering 12 assists in 21 games. Following Sunday night, Byfield is averaging a point per game through his last 12 appearances.
Quinton Byfield Tallies Two Assists In Tuesday's Win
Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield grabbed two assists as the team rolled past Toronto 4-1 on Tuesday. He had a power-play assist on Arthur Kaliyev's second goal of the season and helped Adrian Kempe to grab his third of the year in an even-strength situation. 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 center Quinton Byfield enjoyed the best game of his young career on Tuesday, recording three points in a 6-1 victory over Nashville. He started things off with a power-play assist on an Arthur Kaliyev goal and completed his first career multi-point performance with a pair of third-period goals. Byfield became the first Kings player to have a three-point game before turning 20 since Anze Kopitar in 2006. The second pick of the 2020 draft hasn't yet done a lot in the NHL, boasting eight points through his first 31 career games, but he's got a big future ahead of him and we saw a glimpse of it on Tuesday.
Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield suffered a fractured ankle in his team's preseason contest with the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday. The Kings have placed the hulking center on injured reserve and he will be re-evaluated in a few weeks. The 19-year-old, who had a strong shot to make the Kings' NHL roster, is coming off a professional rookie season in which he posted 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) in 32 games with the Ontario Reign of the AHL. The Kings might ease Byfield back into game action (which would likely be in the AHL) once he returns from injury but he remains a highly-valued asset in any and all keeper league formats.
Quinton Byfield Will Make His NHL Debut for Los Angeles
