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.

NHL Rink Wrap: Talbot gets shut out; Forsberg sets team record; Golden Knights issues

Even though he does not have a new contract extension yet, the Nashville Predators still held on to Filip Forsberg at the NHL Trade Deadline on Monday. He rewarded them with a hat trick in their 6-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night, giving him 35 goals on the season. That goal total set a new single season franchise record for most goals in a season as he continues to have an incredible season. He has scored those 35 goals in just 50 games. That would be a 57.4 goal pace over 82 games. He is not the only Predators forward having a huge season. Matt Duchene also scored two goals on Monday night to give him 34 goals on the season. They are both closing in on 40 goals for the season, something no Predators player has ever done before. Combined with a Norris caliber season from Roman Josi on defense and another sensational performance from Jusse Saros in goal and they all have the Predators headed to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the eighth year in a row.
