Kings' Quinton Byfield: Saves day in overtime
Byfield scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Senators.
Byfield tallied the game-winning goal in overtime after the Kings blew a four-goal lead in the third period. He snapped a personal seven-game point drought with this performance, his second multi-point effort of the year. The slow start to the campaign has seen Byfield playing on the second line lately while Alex Laferriere handles top-line duties. Byfield is at two goals, two assists, 27 shots on net and a minus-6 rating across 10 appearances.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Ready to play in New York
Byfield (upper body) will be in the lineup for Monday's road game against the Rangers, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Byfield will return to the lineup following a two-game absence and center the second line between Trevor Moore and Taylor Ward. Byfield has gotten on the scoresheet only once this season -- he had a goal and a helper Oct. 3 versus San Jose -- so the Kings will need the 24-year-old to be much better in order to help improve the team's 2-5-2 record to begin the season.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Won't play Saturday
Byfield (upper body) won't play against the Devils on Saturday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Byfield will miss his second straight game. He has had a sluggish start to the 2026-27 campaign, contributing only one goal and two assists in seven appearances.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Unavailable Thursday
Byfield (upper body) is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Islanders, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Byfield suffered the injury during Tuesday's game against Washington. He has a goal and an assist in seven appearances this season. His absence will likely result in Jared Wright drawing into the lineup Thursday. Byfield was regarded as a game-time decision and still might be an option Saturday in New Jersey.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Game-time decision Thursday
Byfield (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's road clash against the Islanders, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Byfield left Tuesday's clash against the Capitals after playing just 2:44 of ice time in the 5-2 win. The Kings called up Jared Wright Wednesday in case Byfield can't go, but Head coach Peter Laviolette deemed the transaction a "precautionary move." If the 24-year-old Byfield is given the green light, he'll likely return to his role centering the Kings' second line, where he has compiled a goal, two points and 14 shots on net across seven games this season. He will likely take warm-ups Thursday before a decision is made, so fantasy managers should exercise caution with Byfield rather than leaving him in lineups without a backup plan in place.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Considered day-to-day
Byfield (upper body) is believed to be day-to-day after exiting Tuesday's game against the Capitals, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Wednesday.
It's not yet clear whether Byfield will be available for Thursday's road game against the Islanders, but the Kings recalled Jared Wright on Wednesday, which head coach Peter Laviolette called a "precautionary move." Byfield has recorded a goal, an assist, two blocked shots and a hit while averaging 18:26 of ice time over his first seven appearances of the regular season.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Exits Tuesday's game
Byfield (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Capitals.
Byfield was initially banged up in practice Monday, and it's possible his early exit Tuesday is a related issue. The 24-year-old center is on a five-game point drought, a slump that saw him dropped to the second line prior to his exit Tuesday. He'll be day-to-day until the Kings provide an additional update, leaving his availability for Thursday versus the Islanders in doubt.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Generates two points in overtime loss
Byfield scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Byfield was held off the scoresheet in the Kings' season opener. He's operating as the top-line center this year following the retirement of Anze Kopitar, but the added responsibility could lead to some growing pains early on. Byfield has a minus-3 rating, seven shots on net and two blocked shots over two contests. He's still worth having in fantasy as a forward who can chip in around 50 points with a decent share of shots and hits, and he should also see significant power-play time.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Set for larger role in 2026-27 campaign
Byfield is slated to take on a larger role during the 2026-27 campaign following Anze Kopitar's retirement, Ryan Lambert of The Hockey News reports.
Kopitar had indicated last season that the 2025-26 campaign would be his last in the NHL, and his official retirement earlier in the offseason puts Byfield squarely in line to operate as the Kings' top-line center for the start of the 2026-27 season. Byfield narrowly missed out on his third consecutive 50-point season last year, recording 24 goals, 25 assists, 66 hits, 46 PIM and 44 blocked shots while averaging a career-high 20:01 of ice time across 79 regular-season appearances. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick has shown some promise early in his career, and he should have plenty of opportunities to take another step this season.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Tallies lone goal in loss
Byfield scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
Byfield's goal gave him five points over the last three games of the regular season. He also set a career high with his 24th tally of the year, though he was unable to reach 50 points for a third straight campaign. The 23-year-old ends the regular season at 49 points, 180 shots on net, 66 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 79 appearances. Byfield has already started to take on significant minutes, a sign that he could be the heir apparent to the top-line center job that the retiring Anze Kopitar will vacate at the end of the Kings' playoff run.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Matches career high in goals
Byfield scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Byfield tied the game at 1-1 in the first period and added an assist on an Alex Laferriere go-ahead goal in the second. With five goals and a helper over his last six outings, Byfield continues to impress late in the season. He's at 23 goals -- matching his career high from last year -- and 48 points over 78 appearances this season. He's added 178 shots on net, 66 hits, 43 blocked shots, 46 PIM and a minus-2 rating. Another multi-point effort would get Byfield to the 50-point mark for the third year in a row, assuming he suits up Thursday versus the Flames.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Scores twice vs. Seattle
Byfield scored two goals on eight shots and posted a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
Byfield scored the Kings' first two goals -- both were unassisted tallies during the first period. The 23-year-old isn't much of a reliable scoring threat on a regular basis, but he's ending the season on a strong note with four goals over his last five appearances. He's also attempted multiple shots in 10 of his last 12 games, and with that volume, the uptick in scoring numbers isn't all that surprising. Byfield has eight goals and a 22.2 shooting percentage in that 12-game stretch.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Playing Thursday
Byfield (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Thursday versus Vancouver, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
There was some concern that Byfield would be unable to go, but the 23-year-old practiced in the morning and will play against the Canucks. Byfield has 20 goals and 24 assists with 165 shots on goal over 74 games this season.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Eleven points in last 10 games
Byfield bagged two goals, including the winner, in a 7-6 overtime victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Byfield finished a 3-on-2 break after William Nylander got caught deep in the Kings' zone after he missed on a breakaway. Byfield has reached the 20-goal mark in three consecutive seasons. He didn't take the big step forward that many predicted for him this season, but he has heated up down the stretch, earning 11 points, including seven goals, in his last 10 games.
