Nets power-play tally Byfield scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Byfield has racked up four goals and an assist over his last six outings. The 24-year-old center is finding more consistency on his own, but the team around him continues to flounder. Byfield is up to five goals, two assists, 36 shots on net and a minus-8 rating across 15 appearances, with three of his tallies coming on the power play. He's got the potential to do better on offense, and he'll remain in a top-six role.

While he's struggling with consistency, the Kings continue to play him in a top-six role with power-play time.

Ready to play in New York Byfield (upper body) will be in the lineup for Monday's road game against the Rangers, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Byfield will return to the lineup following a two-game absence and center the second line between Trevor Moore and Taylor Ward. Byfield has gotten on the scoresheet only once this season -- he had a goal and a helper Oct. 3 versus San Jose -- so the Kings will need the 24-year-old to be much better in order to help improve the team's 2-5-2 record to begin the season.

Won't play Saturday Byfield (upper body) won't play against the Devils on Saturday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Byfield will miss his second straight game. He has had a sluggish start to the 2026-27 campaign, contributing only one goal and two assists in seven appearances.

Unavailable Thursday Byfield (upper body) is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Islanders, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Byfield suffered the injury during Tuesday's game against Washington. He has a goal and an assist in seven appearances this season. His absence will likely result in Jared Wright drawing into the lineup Thursday. Byfield was regarded as a game-time decision and still might be an option Saturday in New Jersey.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Thursday Byfield (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's road clash against the Islanders, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Byfield left Tuesday's clash against the Capitals after playing just 2:44 of ice time in the 5-2 win. The Kings called up Jared Wright Wednesday in case Byfield can't go, but Head coach Peter Laviolette deemed the transaction a "precautionary move." If the 24-year-old Byfield is given the green light, he'll likely return to his role centering the Kings' second line, where he has compiled a goal, two points and 14 shots on net across seven games this season. He will likely take warm-ups Thursday before a decision is made, so fantasy managers should exercise caution with Byfield rather than leaving him in lineups without a backup plan in place.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Considered day-to-day Byfield (upper body) is believed to be day-to-day after exiting Tuesday's game against the Capitals, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Wednesday.

Impact It's not yet clear whether Byfield will be available for Thursday's road game against the Islanders, but the Kings recalled Jared Wright on Wednesday, which head coach Peter Laviolette called a "precautionary move." Byfield has recorded a goal, an assist, two blocked shots and a hit while averaging 18:26 of ice time over his first seven appearances of the regular season.

Exits Tuesday's game Byfield (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Capitals.

Impact Byfield was injured during the first period and will be held out for the rest of the contest. The 24-year-old center is on a five-game point drought, a slump that saw him dropped to the second line prior to his exit Tuesday. He'll be day-to-day until the Kings provide an additional update, leaving his availability for Thursday versus the Islanders in doubt.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Generates two points in overtime loss Byfield scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Impact Byfield was held off the scoresheet in the Kings' season opener. He's operating as the top-line center this year following the retirement of Anze Kopitar, but the added responsibility could lead to some growing pains early on. Byfield has a minus-3 rating, seven shots on net and two blocked shots over two contests. He's still worth having in fantasy as a forward who can chip in around 50 points with a decent share of shots and hits, and he should also see significant power-play time.

Set for larger role in 2026-27 campaign Byfield is slated to take on a larger role during the 2026-27 campaign following Anze Kopitar's retirement, Ryan Lambert of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Kopitar had indicated last season that the 2025-26 campaign would be his last in the NHL, and his official retirement earlier in the offseason puts Byfield squarely in line to operate as the Kings' top-line center for the start of the 2026-27 season. Byfield narrowly missed out on his third consecutive 50-point season last year, recording 24 goals, 25 assists, 66 hits, 46 PIM and 44 blocked shots while averaging a career-high 20:01 of ice time across 79 regular-season appearances. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick has shown some promise early in his career, and he should have plenty of opportunities to take another step this season.
