Doughty notched an assist, blocked four shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Blues.

Thanks to an ankle injury he suffered during exhibition play, the Los Angeles Kings were forced to play the first several months of the 2024-25 NHL season without veteran defenseman and assistant captain Drew Doughty.

Drew Doughty is day to day because of a lower-body injury that kept the defenseman out of the Los Angeles Kings’ game against the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night.

Anže Kopitar and Quinton Byfield score as Kings hold on to third place in Pacific Division with 2-1 win over the Blues.

Both the Vancouver Canucks and the Los Angeles Kings will be without some impact defencemen when they faceoff against one another on Wednesday night.

Quinton Byfield scored on a wrist shot 27 seconds into overtime to give the Los Angeles Kings a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. Byfield got his 13th goal of the season, capitalizing on a turnover forced by Adrian Kempe before scoring from the left circle to end the Kings' five-game skid.

The very thought of seeing Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty wearing a sweater other than LA’s probably seems blasphemous to Kings fans, but should it be? Ageing superstars or even ones in their prime get traded.
