Drew Doughty - NHL News & Rumors

Provides two helpers Doughty notched two assists, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact This was Doughty's second game back from missing seven due to a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old defenseman has immediately retaken his top-pairing spot and should continue to see significant minutes as long as he can stay healthy. He's up to two goals, eight assists, 26 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-10 rating through 21 appearances.

Returns Thursday Doughty (lower body) will be back in action Thursday versus Chicago, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Doughty will be taken off injured reserve, ahead of Thursday's match. He missed seven games with the injury. Doughty has two goals and eight points in 19 games this season and has seen his powerplay time decrease significantly this season from a career-low 2:35 in 2024-25, to only 1:34 this season.

LA Kings put veteran D Drew Doughty on injured reserve after taking a shot off his foot

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty went on injured reserve Thursday after being hit by a shot in his left foot

Headed for IR Doughty (lower body) will be shifted to injured reserve Wednesday, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.

Impact Considering Doughty is considered week-to-week, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him land on injured reserve. The team hasn't provided a clear recovery timeline, but it seems unlikely he'll be back before the end of November. While the 35-year-old Ontario native is mired in a five-game goal drought, he did chip in three assists over that stretch and managed just four shots.

Labeled week-to-week Doughty (lower body) is considered week-to-week, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Monday.

Impact Doughty's injury is unrelated to last season's ankle problem, but it will still sideline him for a little while. Considering the 35-year-old defenseman's recovery timeline, fantasy managers can likely expect him to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days. Look for Brandt Clarke to see an uptick in ice time with Doughty on the shelf.

Sustains lower-body injury Doughty (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Senators.

Impact Doughty was injured after blocking a shot in the second period. The 35-year-old defenseman's absence would be a big one if he's forced to miss additional time, especially with the Sharks till on the road for two more games. If he's unavailable Monday against the Capitals, Jacob Moverare will likely take his place in the lineup.

Moves up franchise scoring list Doughty picked up two assists Thursday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact The grizzled veteran has had a slow start to the season and has just eight points, including six assists, in 18 games. Half of those points have come in his last five games. It was Doughty's 133rd career multipoint game. He passed Charlie Simmer for the ninth most in Kings history.

Fills empty cage Doughty scored an empty-net goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Jets.

Impact Doughty's two goals this season have come over the last four games. The 35-year-old defenseman is up to five points, 20 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 10 hits and a plus-5 rating through 14 appearances. He can reach a higher pace, but age could be a concern if his offense doesn't get on track soon. Doughty still offers upside with his all-around production, and he remains in a significant role as the Kings' top blueliner.

Nets first goal of season Doughty scored a goal, blocked four shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Doughty ended a six-game slump with his second-period tally. The 35-year-old defenseman is up to four points, 15 shots on net, seven hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating across 11 appearances. He likely won't hit as much as he did earlier in his career, but he can still be a steady source of blocks. The big question is what level of offense he'll ultimately provide -- he had at least 50 points in his last two healthy seasons, but he's well off that pace early in 2025-26.
