Tobias Bjornfot - Finishes conditioning stint, off IRBjornfot (undisclosed) completed his conditioning loan with AHL Ontario on Thursday. He also has been activated off the injured reserve list, per the NHL media site.

ImpactBjornfot hasn't played with LA since Oct. 11 because of the injury. He has logged nine contests with Ontario, though he hasn't recorded a point over that span. With Bjornfot off IR, he'll likely serve as the Kings' seventh defenseman, which will result in him frequently being a healthy scratch.

Pierre-Luc Dubois - Generates assist against old teamDubois managed an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

ImpactDubois passed the puck to Alex Laferriere, who banked in a shot off goalie Connor Hellebuyck for the Kings' second tally. The assist ended a six-game point drought for Dubois, and it came against his former team. The 25-year-old's first year with the Kings hasn't been all that special -- he's at a mediocre 12 points with 47 shots on net, 16 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 26 appearances. Dubois has filled a third-line center role this season and could see his ice time drop if he can't provide more consistent offense.

Quinton Byfield - Draws power-play helperByfield notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

ImpactByfield has earned six points over six contests in December, and two of them have come on the power play. The 21-year-old had the secondary helper on Anze Kopitar's tally Wednesday. Byfield is playing like a true top-six forward with eight goals, 14 assists, six power-play points, 50 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 26 appearances this season. He had 22 points over 53 outings a season ago, so he could very well double that mark in 2023-24.

Kevin Fiala - Reaches 20-assist markFiala posted a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

ImpactFiala set up an Anze Kopitar tally in the first period. With seven helpers during his eight-game goal drought, Fiala continues to make an impact with playmaking. He's taken 22 shots on net in that span, so he's just a little unlucky to not see one get through. For the season, the talented winger has six goals, 20 assists, 69 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 26 outings. Ten of his points have come on the power play.

Anze Kopitar - Strikes on power play in lossKopitar scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

ImpactKopitar opened the scoring midway through the first period. The tally was his first in eight games, though he managed six assists during his goal drought. The 36-year-old is still humming along at a point-per-game pace with 11 goals, 15 assists, eight power-play points, 53 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 26 appearances this season.

Cam Talbot - Surrenders four goalsTalbot stopped 24 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Jets. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

ImpactThis is just the fourth time this season Talbot has allowed four goals. The Kings led 2-0 after the first period before the Jets' top line took over the game across the final 40 minutes. Talbot dropped to 12-5-2 with a 2.02 GAA and a .927 save percentage through 19 appearances. The Kings' next game is Saturday in Seattle, which would be a favorable matchup for Talbot should he make the start.
