Doughty recorded an assist in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty had the secondary assist on Gabriel Vilardi's game-winning tally. The 32-year-old Doughty has picked up three assists in his last five contests. He's up to seven points, 29 shots on net, 22 hits, 18 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating in 15 games. As long as he's seeing first-unit power-play time and big minutes in all situations, fantasy managers have no reason to worry about Doughty's production.

Doughty notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty helped out on an Anze Kopitar goal in the second period. It's been a sputtering start on offense for Doughty in 2022-23. He has a goal, four assists, 23 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating in 11 contests. He's been as physical ever with 18 hits, 16 blocked shots and 12 PIM, and his large role in all situations should allow him to get his scoring back on track.

Doughty notched a power-play assist, four PIM and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty set up a Gabriel Vilardi goal in the second period. All four of Doughty's points have come in the last six games, and three have been on the power play. The 32-year-old defenseman continues to play a massive role in all situations for the Kings, and he's added 18 shots on net, 12 PIM, 12 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. His well-rounded production makes him a solid option in fantasy.

Doughty logged an assist and 25:23 of ice time during Sunday's preseason win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty missed the final 31 games, including seven postseason contests, of the 2021-22 campaign after undergoing wrist surgery. He's now dressed for the last two preseason games and looks to be at full strength heading into the regular season. Doughty scored seven goals and 31 points -- including 13 on the power play -- in just 39 games last season.

Doughty (wrist) was dealing with a tendon injury but would have tried to play in the postseason if the team had made the Western Conference Finals. The blueliner expects to be fully fit heading into the 2022-23 campaign, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty missed the final 31 games of the season, including the playoffs, due to his wrist injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 32-year-old defenseman managed seven goals and 24 assists, including 13 power-play points, in just 39 games. If he can get back to playing a full 82-game season, the veteran should be capable of getting back over the 40-point threshold for the first time since 2018-19.

Doughty (wrist) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty was already ruled out until next season, so this is simply a procedural move. The Kings then had the cap space to activate Mikey Anderson (upper body) from LTIR for Wednesday's game in Seattle.

Doughty was added to injured reserve Sunday but remains day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty's placement on IR is retroactive to March 7, so he'll be eligible to return as soon as Tuesday against visiting Colorado. Fellow blueliner Austin Strand was called up in a corresponding move ahead of Sunday's game against visiting Florida.
