NHL playoff watch standings update - Dallas Stars, Carolina Hurricanes take center stage
With a short slate on Wednesday night, there wasn't much movement in the playoff races (or the «race» for the draft lottery). But Thursday night promises to be quite different.
NHL Rink Wrap: Byfield breakout game; Stars stun Oilers; Golden Knights lose again
The Los Angeles Kings are battling through some significant injuries right now but doing their best to keep fighting for a playoff spot. They got a huge 6-1 win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night thanks in part to a breakout game for Quinton Byfield. Byfield had three points, including a pair of goals, to help lead the offense. Byfield, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NHL draft, is one of the top prospects in the league and a major part of the Kings’ long-term future. The most encouraging part of the Kings’ season is the fact they are likely going to the Stanley Cup Playoffs despite not getting huge contributions from a lot of their top young players yet. If players like Byfield start to breakout and make a significant impact that is going to be quite a game changer for them in the short-term and the long-term. Adrian Kempe also had two goals for the Kings in this game.
