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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The 22-year-old center is up to 46 points (19 goals, 27 helpers), 142 shots on net, 71 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 73 outings this season. He's a little behind his 55-point breakout from 2023-24, but he's still doing well for a young middle-six center.
