After beating the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-1 on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Kings are on a four-game win streak for the first time since November.
Tuesday was more proof of the team's improvement under interim head coach Jim Hiller, but that's not where anyone's focus lies in this game.
All eyes are on Quinton Byfield's unbelievable goal in the first period.
If someone asked me to sum up Byfield in one play, I'd show them this goal, it had everything.
The speed through the neutral zone to put Zach Werenski on his heels, the hands to dangle Werenski and the power to fight through traffic and finish, chefs kiss.
Also, let's not breeze past the fact that he did this to Werenski, a top-level defensemen in the NHL.
This goal would be impressive if he did it against a bottom-pair player you've never heard of, but to do it against a legitimate top-pairing defensemen? Ridiculous.
It's also a testament to how confident Byfield is right now.
Last season, there's no world where Byfield makes that play, he wouldn't have even tried it.
"This time last year I might’ve dumped it in," said Byfield when I asked if he would have tried that this time last year. "I feel good with the puck right now. Everywhere I am, I’m wanting the puck, trying to get open, so the confidence is definitely there, just knowing that I can make plays. I’m confident in my shot as well, just knowing if I shoot it, I’ve got a good chance of scoring. The confidence is there right now."
Byfield is now on pace for 28 goals and 65 points, trailing only St. Louis Blues forward Jake Neighbors in goals amongst players 21 or younger.
He impressed his teammates with the goal too.
"It was a beautiful goal," said Pierre-Luc Dubois. "I was trying to think if I've ever scored one like that and I don't think so."
Dubois was the other star forward in this game, grabbing two goals as he continues to shine coming out of the All-Star break.
With Dubois and Byfield both playing at this level, the Kings are a dangerous team.
Cam Talbot is also recapturing a bit of his early season form with a strong game against Columbus.
He made some big saves when the game was right and gave his team every chance to win.
The battle between Talbot and David Rittich for the net is only a positive for the Kings.
If one, or both, can carry their play into the postseason, the Kings are in a great spot.
They're back in action at home on Thursday to take on the Nashville Predators in what could be their fifth-straight win.
