Byfield scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield spent much of last season as a top-line player in name only, as his ice time was still low. He saw 16:15 of ice time Wednesday, and his efforts were rewarded with a goal late in the second period that got the Kings within one of pulling even. 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 logged an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield was a solid depth contributor on offense with a goal and three assists over six playoff games, but he also went minus-5 with eight shots on net and 15 hits. The 20-year-old had 22 points in 53 regular-season outings, and he'll look to make a significant leap in production in 2023-24.

Byfield scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield had a rough first period, and he was moved down to the third line, with Alex Iafallo joining the top line. After the switch, Byfield was able to provide a third-period tally, but that was little more than window dressing in the lopsided loss. The 20-year-old has a goal, two assists, a minus-4 rating, eight shots on net and 14 hits through five playoff contests.

Byfield notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield set up the second of Adrian Kempe's tallies in the third period. It's encouraging to see Byfield remain in a top-line role at even strength to begin the playoffs, though he probably won't produce much offense with it. The 20-year-old hasn't scored a goal in 15 games, and he's picked up just five helpers over that span.

Byfield has three goals, 19 assists, 72 shots on net, 49 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 51 outings this season.

Byfield scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added four PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield put the Kings in some danger with his second penalty of the game, a delay of game minor for putting the puck over the glass. Just after the Kings killed it off, Byfield was able to pop in the empty-netter to secure their win. The 20-year-old is up to three goals, 18 points, 52 shots on net, 36 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 39 outings. He has a goal and five helpers over his last seven games.

EDGE Analysis
Byfield helped out on a Gabriel Vilardi tally in the first period. This was Byfield's fifth straight game with an assist, though he is still in a goal drought that has reached 18 contests. The 20-year-old forward can still have appeal with his playmaking in deeper fantasy formats. He's up to 17 points, 47 shots on net, 33 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 37 outings this season.
