Bad News For Kings Quinton Byfield

Quinton Byfield will not return to today's game (upper-body). Day to day, per @LAKingsPR.

He would've played as a 3rd line center in this Kings Roster. Captain Anze Kopitar clearly has the top spot, with Philip Danault likely to take second. Of course, Byfield might shift up to the left side and play with Kopitar or Danault.

In fact, Byfield, a large man with good two-way skills, could benefit much from seeing Kopitar play close up. The Kings would be overjoyed if Byfield modelled his game after a total pro like Kopitar.
