Byfield logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield earned the secondary helper on Matt Roy's game-tying goal at 17:52 of the third period. The assist was Byfield's third in five games this year as he looks fairly comfortable as the third-line center. The 20-year-old has added three shots on net, two PIM, a hit and a plus-3 rating. With minimal power-play time, there's not a ton of upside for Byfield in redraft formats, but his steady place in the lineup is an encouraging sign for dynasty managers.

Byfield notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield broke camp with the Kings this year, and he's slotting into a third-line center spot behind top pivots Anze Kopitar and Phillip Danault. That third-line trio made noise for the opening goal, as Byfield set up Gabriel Vilardi for the Kings' first tally of the year. It's expected Byfield gets some power-play time on the second unit, and he should be able to see favorable matchups at even strength, but it's unclear if that'll lead to a breakout year for the second overall pick from 2020.
