Byfield's moved around the lineup a bit this year, and the lack of a steady spot may be having a slight negative impact on his production. |

Byfield scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks. - Byfield opened the scoring just 1:43 into the game. He's starting to pick up the pace -- his two goals this season have come over the last two contests, and he has five points across his last seven outings. The 22-year-old forward is up to eight points, 33 shots on net, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 15 appearances. He's not performing at the level that led to a 20-goal, 55-point regular season in 2023-24, but he's also shooting just 6.1 percent, so there's plenty of room for improvement over time. |

The 22-year-old has seven points this season, and while this outing will probably act as a confidence-booster for him, he's not producing enough to warrant fantasy consideration as a waiver addition in most formats. |

Byfield notched an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights. - Byfield was back on the third line Wednesday, trading places with Alex Turcotte, who moved up alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe on the top line.

The 22-year-old forward has been limited to four assists, six hits, 20 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over nine contests this season. He produced 55 points in 80 regular-season games last year, but his slow start could make it difficult for him to match that production. |

Byfield netted a hat trick Thursday in a 4-1 preseason win over Boston. - Byfield has been playing at center this preseason and is showing the NHL why he was drafted second overall (2020). On Thursday, the big man scored twice in 25 seconds in the second period. The first came on a beautiful one-timer on a 2-on-1 break with Kevin Fiala, and then Byfield smacked in a rebound from in tight. His third goal came on the power play in the third. Byfield has looked comfortable at pivot this season and seems to have chemistry with newcomer Warren Foegele and veteran Kevin Fiala. He hopes to build on his 20 goals and 35 assists from last year. |

The 21-year-old is seeing steady top-six minutes, though this was the first time in three games he started on the top line.

The 21-year-old Byfield has some momentum with five points over his last three outings, which follows a nine-game slump. He's been listed on the third line for the playoffs, but his role has been fairly interchangeable with Alex Laferriere so far. Byfield has the better scoring outlook of the two even if he doesn't get back into a top-six role officially. |

Byfield notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1. - Byfield set up an Adrian Kempe tally in the second period. An unsteady end to the campaign saw Byfield pick up two points in the regular-season finale following a 19-game goal drought in which he earned six assists.

Byfield notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks. - Byfield has earned a helper in three straight games, and he has give assists over nine contests since he last scored a goal.

Byfield has 19 goals, 31 assists, 133 shots on net, 52 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-18 rating over 67 contests. |

Byfield scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets. - Byfield made a fantastic individual effort for his first-period tally and later set up a Pierre-Luc Dubois tally in the second. The highlight-reel goal was just further proof of Byfield's breakout campaign, which has seen him rack up four goals and three assists over six games in February. Overall, he's at 18 goals, 42 points, 107 shots on net and a plus-18 rating through 52 appearances. The 21-year-old was bumped down to the third line when Viktor Arvidsson debuted earlier this month, but Arvidsson sustained a lower-body injury Tuesday, which may open the door for Byfield to get back into the top six. |

Byfield is up to 16 tallies, 38 points, 94 shots on net and a plus-17 rating through 47 appearances in a breakout campaign. While he doesn't add much outside of offense, he's at a level of scoring that needs to be on fantasy rosters in all formats. |

Byfield (illness) is expected to rejoin the lineup versus Nashville on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Byfield was rolling offensively before falling ill, racking up four goals and two assists, including three power-play points, in his last seven contests.

Taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, we're getting just the first real taste of what promises to be a great career. Look for Byfield to flirt with the 60-point milestone before the season's over. |

Byfield scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Rangers. - Byfield put the Kings ahead 2-1 late in the second period, cleaning up a loose puck in front of the net for the eventual game-winning tally. The 21-year-old Byfield had cooled off after a strong start to the year -- he came into Saturday's matchup with just two goals and five points in his prior 12 games. He's up to 31 points (13 goals, 18 assists) through 43 games this season. |

Byfield scored twice in a 5-3 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday. - Both goals came on the power play. They snapped an eight-game goal drought for the power winger, but we're confident he'd give up the goals for a win. The Kings are on an eight-game losing streak. Still, Byfield is on pace for a 25-goal, 63-point career season, and if the team can right the proverbial ship, he could be playing in the playoffs. |

Byfield notched an assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Red Wings. - Byfield has two helpers over his last three contests, though that's a bit of a quiet stretch for the 21-year-old.

Byfield scored twice and had an assist in a 4-0 victory over Montreal on Thursday night. - Byfield made it 2-0 when he powered past Canadiens defender Kaiden Guhle and drove the net before tucking the puck around Sam Montenbeault late in the first period.

His eight goals in 23 games this season equal his total in 99 previous games. And he has 21 points on the season. Byfield is a natural fit as one of the Kings three wise men, albeit on the wing instead of his natural center. We'll take it -- his offensive output will be great on the flank right now. |

Byfield had three assists in a 5-0 win over the Flyers on Saturday. - Byfield, who is 21, is the first Kings player 21 or younger to put up three assists in a game since Drew Doughty did it on Dec. 13, 2010. Byfield had one point in his first five games this season. But he's turned up the heat as a winger on the top line, and he has nine points, including eight helpers, in his last six games. He's on a three-game, six-point scoring streak, too. Many have knocked Byfield for failing to live up to his draft stock. But he's only 21, and the move to wing seems to be a great fit.

Byfield notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes. - Byfield set up Adrian Kempe's empty-net goal late in the third period.

Byfield scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. - Byfield spent much of last season as a top-line player in name only, as his ice time was still low.

The 21-year-old was selected second overall in 2020 and may still have some untapped potential. He produced 22 points in 53 outings last season, though playing alongside Anze Kopitar at even strength should give Byfield plenty of opportunities to improve on that scoring pace. |

Byfield notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers. - Byfield set up the second of Adrian Kempe's tallies in the third period.
