Kings' Quinton Byfield: Two points in series opener
Rotowire
Byfield recorded a goal, an assist, three shots and three hits in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.
Byfield was one of several Los Angeles players who recorded a multi-point performance in this series opener, and he made his presence felt in the latter stages of both the first and second periods. He doubled the Kings' lead at the 19:27 mark of the first frame with a wrister past Stuart Skinner, and he later set up Phillip Danault's first marker to give the Kings a four-goal cushion. Byfield recorded 54 points (23 goals, 31 assists) across 81 regular-season contests, and he figures to have plenty of opportunities to produce in the playoffs due to his top-six role in the lineup.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Departs Monday's game
Rotowire
Byfield sustained an upper-body injury in Monday's 5-0 win over Edmonton.
Byfield was not on the bench for the start of the third period after he was driven downwards into the ice by Edmonton's Darnell Nurse in the middle frame. Nurse then proceeded to illegally check Byfield again after the two players fell to the ice, which forced the latter to leave the contest. Monday was the first game of a back-to-back for Los Angeles, and the Kings will likely utilize the utmost caution with Byfield ahead of the postseason. He should be considered questionable, at best, for Tuesday's road matchup against the Kraken.
Byfield had a goal and two assists Saturday in a 5-4 win over the Avalanche.
His line with Alex Laferriere and Kevin Fiala dominated the game, putting up four goals and four assists in the win. Byfield is on a roll with six points (three goals, three assists) on a three-game scoring streak. It includes a three-game goal streak, too. Byfield has 22 goals, 31 assists and 151 shots in 79 games, and with three games left, he could challenge his career mark of 55 points, which he set last season in 80 contests.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Power-play goal, assist in win
Rotowire
Byfield scored a power-play goal, dished an assist and added two hits in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.

He's done all of that from a middle-six role, though he's often picked up extra minutes while the Kings look to be building in some rest during games for Anze Kopitar. Byfield is a strong contributor for points, shots and hits for the rest of the regular season and into the playoffs.

He's a little behind his 55-point breakout from 2023-24, but he's still doing well for a young middle-six center.
