Los Angeles Kings center Quinton Byfield exited Tuesday night's game against the Washington Capitals due to an upper-body injury. Byfield skated just four shifts and 2:44 of ice time before leaving the contest. Head coach Peter Laviolette noted that the team plans to further evaluate his condition at Wednesday's practice.
The setback may stem from an awkward fall into the boards during an earlier team practice. Following Byfield's exit, the Kings adjusted their forward lines by shifting Erik Haula to second-line center and Andre Lee to the third line, while AHL prospects could be recalled if needed.
