Sends helper in loss Doughty logged an assist, four hits and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

Impact Doughty put up four points, 10 shots on net, 12 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over six playoff appearances. The 35-year-old defenseman's 2024-25 campaign was derailed by a broken ankle sustained in the preseason, which limited him to a total of 36 appearances between the regular season and playoffs. He was never really 100 percent this season and still did better than a point every other game, so an offseason of rest and recovery should benefit Doughty heading into 2025-26.

Earns two points in loss Doughty scored a power-play goal on four shots, added an assist and went minus-3 in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

Impact Doughty gave the Kings their first lead of the game at 15:07 of the second period. The defenseman is up to three points, seven shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over three playoff outings. Doughty is handling a large role well, which is especially helpful for the Kings since young blueliners Brandt Clarke and Jordan Spence don't appear to be trusted with significant minutes yet in this playoff run.

Pockets assist in Game 1 win Doughty logged an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

Impact Doughty was limited to two appearances over the final six games of the regular season and went without a point in both of those contests. While Monday's series opener wasn't a banner night for defense, Doughty was able to chip in on offense by setting up Quinton Byfield's first-period tally. Doughty was effective when healthy in 2024-25, earning 17 points, a plus-9 rating, 45 blocked shots and 46 shots on net over 30 regular-season appearances. However, he is still managing his ankle, which he broke prior to the regular season, and he could end up out of the lineup if the issue flares up too much in the playoffs.

Expected to sit Thursday Doughty (rest) is slated to miss Thursday's game versus Calgary, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

Impact Doughty has played only once in his last five games, heading into Thursday's action. Doughty has four goals, 13 assists, 44 shots on goal and 45 blocked shots across 29 games this season. He should return in time for Game 1 versus Edmonton this weekend.

APRIL 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Tuesday Doughty will not play Tuesday versus the Kraken, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Doughty continues to manage his ankle injury, but considering he played Monday, this is just simply rest for a veteran ahead of the postseason. Mikey Anderson will also sit out, so Caleb Jones and Kyle Burroughs will both be in the lineup Thursday.

Returning against Oilers Doughty (ankle) will be in the lineup for Monday's clash with Edmonton, Patrick O'Neal of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Doughty returns following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his ankle problem. Despite being limited to just 28 games this season, the veteran blueliner has already notched 17 points and could still reach the 20-point threshold -- a mark he's hit in every one of his previous 16 NHL campaigns.

The 35-year-old defenseman has four goals and 17 points in 28 outings in 2024-25. His next chance to return will come Monday in Edmonton.

Given maintenance day Doughty (ankle) will not play Monday versus the Kraken, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact The Kings are already a lock for the playoffs, so they'll give Doughty a maintenance day Monday against an inferior opponent. His absence comes at an unfortunate time for fantasy managers, though, as Doughty generated a goal and four assists over his last four games. Brandt Clarke might quarterback the No. 1 power-play unit again Seattle in place of Doughty. Los Angeles' next game is Thursday versus Anaheim.

Status uncertain for Monday Doughty missed the end of Saturday's game against the Oilers as a precautionary measure due to his ankle injury, but his status for Monday's game against Seattle is up in the air,...

Impact Doughty missed the start of the 2024-25 season due to an ankle injury, and head coach Jim Hiller said Sunday that the 35-year-old won't be 100 percent healthy before the end of the regular season. However, Doughty has been on a hot streak lately, posting a goal, four assists, six hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-6 rating over his last four appearances. If he's unable to play against the Kraken, Jacob Moverare or Kyle Borroughs will likely enter the lineup.

Collects two more points Doughty scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-3 and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over Utah.

Impact Doughty earned his second multi-point effort in the last three games. The defenseman helped out on Adrian Kempe's second-period tally before scoring on a long-range flip into an empty net. Doughty is up to 16 points, 40 shots on net, 25 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 27 appearances. He'd be on pace for roughly 48 points over the full 82 games had he not lost significant time to a broken ankle at the start of the year. That's production in line with each of his last two campaigns.
