Former second overall pick loaned to the minors
The Los Angeles Kings announced on Sunday that they've assigned 2020 second overall pick Quinton Byfield to the Ontario Reign of the American Hockey League.
Byfield, 20, has missed the last six games for Los Angeles due to flu-like symptoms and in order to build him back up for conditioning reasons, they assigned him to the AHL.
But the move is a bit strange given how Los Angeles and Ontario's schedules work this week. The Kings host the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night, while the Reign don't play until Thursday night against the San Jose Barracuda. Granted, it likely makes more sense for Byfield to work his way back up to speed in the minors, rather than putting him right back into NHL action when he hasn't played since October 25th against Tampa Bay.
The Newmarket native has appeared in eight games this season, recording three assists, four penalty minutes and is a minus-one.
