The Los Angeles Kings have recalled blue-chip prospect forwards Quinton Byfield and Alex Turcotte, the team announced Monday.

The pair had been playing with the AHL's Ontario Reign before getting a shot with the big club.

Byfield, the second overall pick in 2020, has been sidelined for the majority of the 2021-22 campaign due to a fractured ankle suffered in October. He's gone pointless in four games with the Reign since returning to the ice.

Los Angeles drafted Turcotte with the fifth pick in 2019. He's recorded 31 points in 50 career games in the minors and has yet to make his NHL debut.

The Kings' next game is scheduled for Thursday versus the Vegas Golden Knights, but the NHL has postponed dozens of games over the past week as COVID-19 cases soar across the league.
