Quinton Byfield was unstoppable with a hat trick
There is no question that the top headline coming out of this game will be Quinton Byfield and his performance. The former second overall pick is entering a big season with high expectations after a 20-goal season last year.
Byfield this season is moving back to center, which is more of his natural position, after playing on the wing last year. There is no question that he looks very comfortable with the move back with some impressive plays almost all night.
He would get the scoring going in the second off the assist from Kevin Fiala and then follow it up with the rebound off Joel Edmundson's shot. The final goal was off a nice deflect on a centering pass from Phillip Danault with the Kings on a power play.
The excitement should only be growing for the season Byfield could have after a game like this.
