LOS ANGELES — On April 26, Los Angeles Kings center prospect Quinton Byfield was added to the taxi squad from the Ontario Reign of the American Hockey League, giving fans some hope that he will get a shot at making his National Hockey League debut soon.
18-year-old Byfield, who was selected by the Kings in the first round (second overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft, started the season with the Reign because the Ontario Hockey League, where he would normally have been playing, if not for the COVID-19 pandemic, is not playing this season.
