Quinton Byfield and the Los Angeles Kings made history on Tuesday night.
The Kings selected Byfield with the No. 2 overall pick in the NHL draft, marking the highest a Black player has ever been drafted in the history of the league.
Forget NY state of mind, it's LA lifestyle for Quinton Byfield ud83dude0e#GoKingsGo | #NHLDraft | @GEICO
Both San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane and Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones held the previous mark, each having been selected No. 4 overall in their drafts in 2009 and 2013, respectively.
