Quinton Byfield’s debut with the LA Kings looks imminent, and the former second-overall pick is ready to prove he’s an every situation player.
Called up to the team’s taxi squad on Monday, Quinton Byfield appears to be close to making his NHL debut. The LA Kings drafted Byfield with the second-overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, and he’s been able to play at the AHL level this season with the OHL’s plans in flux.
The OHL season has since been scrapped, which eliminated all questions about what the Kings were going to do with Byfield and Arthur Kaliyev when Sudbury and Hamilton began their seasons, respectively.
