Quinton Byfield Exits Game Early Due to Upper-Body Injury Against Capitals

Quinton Byfield suffered an upper-body injury during the first period of Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Capitals and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The 24-year-old center is currently considered day-to-day, making his status uncertain for Thursday's game against the New York Islanders. Prior to the injury, Byfield was mired in a five-game point drought and had recently been demoted to Los Angeles' second line.
