Byfield found the back of the net in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield's marker came on the power play at 17:04 of the second period. It was his second goal and seventh point in 19 games in 2022-23. He entered the contest averaging just 12:49 of ice time this season, but Byfield logged 17:07 on Saturday, including 3:15 with the man advantage. If the Kings keep using him like that, then the 20-year-old might start to make significant offensive contributions.

Byfield scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield set up an Adrian Kempe goal in the first period and then scored one of his own in the second. This was Byfield's first multi-point effort and the third of his career. The 20-year-old is starting to settle in on the top line, a role he's filled at even strength for much of January. He has six points, 13 shots on net, 10 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 16 contests.

Byfield notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Byfield had the secondary assist on Anze Kopitar's second-period marker. With Trevor Moore (upper body) and Arthur Kaliyev (lower body) out, Byfield has seen some top-line usage at even strength recently. The second overall pick from 2020 has picked up four assists, seven shots on net, seven hits and a minus-1 rating through 12 contests this season, though he's more often been in a middle-six spot. Getting more exposure to the Kings' best forwards could give Byfield a bump on offense.

EDGE Analysis
Byfield has nine goals and 15 points in 16 contests this season. He also has three assists in eight contests with Los Angeles while averaging 11:46 of ice time. The 20-year-old is projected to play Tuesday against Vegas because Trevor Moore is dealing with an undisclosed injury.
