Byfield was the second overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and has spent the entire season with the Ontario Reign of the AHL. The 18-year-old has eight goals and 12 assists in 30 games.

Last season with the OHL's Sudbury Wolves, Byfield had 32 goals and 82 points in 45 games.

The Kings enter Wednesday with an 18-22-6 record and 10 games remaining on the season. They're seventh in the West Division and almost certainly will miss the playoffs for the third straight season.
