Quinton Byfield with great pass to set up first Los Angeles Kings goal
Quinton Byfield has the talent to be one of the top players on the Los Angeles Kings but hasn't shown it much to begin the season. However, the Kings first goal showed why that belief remains that Byfield can be a difference maker.
The play started with Mikey Anderson getting the puck into the zone and Byfield was able to use his speed to track down the puck. He was able to control it and pass it back to the front of the net to Alex Laferriere who wasn't able to get the goal due to a great save by Filip Gustavsson. However, Warren Foegele was there to clean it up and get the first goal of the game for the Kings.

In addition to the assist, it is great to see Byfield shooting more recently with 10 shots in the past three games after zero in the three games prior to that. It shouldn't be much of a surprise that on a night he has a season-high in shots with five, he finally scores his first goal. Fans have been wanting to see him shot more and hopefully this trend continues for the former first-round pick.
