As the Los Angeles Kings navigate the challenges presented by the absence of Phillip Danault, who is expected to miss some time due to an injury, the organization is looking internally to fill his significant role. Coach Todd McLellan emphasized the need for players like Quinton Byfield and Trevor Moore to step up in Danault's absence. Danault has been key to the Kings' success and his two-way game has proven essential in both offensive and defensive situations.
The Kings are confident in their depth and are optimistic about the players stepping into Danault's role. Byfield, known for his skill and speed, has shown flashes of brilliance and possesses the potential to contribute significantly while shouldering increased responsibilities. Meanwhile, Moore's experience and versatility make him a suitable candidate to help stabilize the team during this period.
With Danault's recovery expected to take some time, the Kings will continue to assess their lineup and make adjustments as needed. The coaching staff is committed to ensuring that the team's competitive edge remains intact, despite this unfortunate setback. As the Kings aim to solidify their standing in the Pacific Division, the depth of their roster will undoubtedly be tested during this critical time.
