Byfield (ankle) was activated off injured reserve and loaned to AHL Ontario on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield has been sidelined since early October with a fractured ankle, so he'll head to the minors to get his game in order before presumably getting another look with the big club. The second overall pick from the 2020 NHL Entry Draft has picked up one helper though six top-level appearances this year.

Byfield suffered a fractured ankle Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
With this news, it's safe to assume Byfield will be sidelined a minimum of four weeks, and likely longer as the Kings won't want to rush their top prospect. The 19-year-old probably won't play at any level until November at the earliest, so fantasy managers in redraft formats probably can leave him undrafted. The Kings officially placed Byfield on injured reserve.

Byfield is considered week-to-week after leaving Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes with a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield had a hard collision with the boards in the third period, and it appears this injury will cost him at least the rest of the preseason. The 19-year-old's status for the Kings' home opener versus the Golden Knights on Oct. 14 is also clearly in doubt, though he hasn't officially been ruled out of that contest yet.

Byfield (lower body) left Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes in the third period after he was hit by Christian Fischer, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield appeared to have his left leg or foot crash into the board after the hit. The 19-year-old had a foot injury that cost him time at the start of training camp, but he had recovered from that before Tuesday's new injury. The Kings will likely provide an update on the top prospect in the next few days, although he could be held out of Wednesday's game versus the Ducks.

Byfield (foot) is expected to make his training camp debut Friday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield was dealing with a foot injury as well as an illness heading into training camp, but it sounds like the Kings will begin easing him into the swing of things by having him skate with the team's third group Friday. The second overall pick from last year's draft should get every opportunity to make LA's Opening Night roster during camp. Byfield spent most of the 2020-21 campaign with AHL Ontario, notching eight goals and 20 points in 32 contests, but he also drew into six games with the big club, picking up one helper over that span.

Byfield (foot) is also reportedly dealing with an illness ahead of the start of training camp, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield was already suffering from a foot injury and was doubtful to be available for the start of training camp but this latest news only serves to further complicate the situation. If the 19-year-old center is unable to play Opening Night against the Golden Knights on Oct. 14, it could mean increased opportunities for T.J. Tynan or Jaret Anderson-Dolan.

Byfield is dealing with a foot injury and wasn't available at training camp Monday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
It doesn't sound like Byfield's injury is too serious but more of a small, nagging issue. He tested his foot out to begin the day but didn't feel right and left the ice. Barring an aggravation of the injury, the 19-year-old forward should be back to work sooner rather than later.

Byfield has been reassigned to AHL Ontario, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield looked raw in his cup of coffee with the Kings, mustering just one helper in six games with the big club. The 2020 second overall pick will have two more games at the AHL level to gain experience before his rookie season comes to a close.

Byfield was assigned to the taxi squad Saturday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield's move off the roster opens space for Rasmus Kupari to play in Saturday's game versus the Avalanche. Byfield has one assist and nine shots on net through his first six NHL games.
