Doughty scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty has three points over his last four games for one of his better stretches of the campaign. The 36-year-old blueliner is up to 17 points in 54 outings overall, matching his point total from just 30 regular-season contests in 2024-25. Doughty has added 76 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 30 PIM and 24 hits this season while maintaining a top-four role.

Doughty notched an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty missed two games due to a lower-body injury, but he led the Kings with 25:48 of ice time in his return. The 36-year-old defenseman should be fine to handle his usual top-pairing role moving forward. He's up to 15 points, 72 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 30 PIM and 24 hits over 51 appearances this season. With a drop in nearly every statistical area compared to his peak years, it looks like Father Time has caught up with Doughty a bit.

Doughty (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Avalanche, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty suffered his lower-body injury Thursday against the Oilers, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game. However, interim head coach D.J. Smith said ahead of Monday's matchup that Doughty could return Thursday against the Islanders or Saturday against the Canadiens.

Doughty (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Flames, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty was injured Thursday versus the Oilers, and it will cost him at least one full contest. Jacob Moverare is expected to enter the lineup Saturday, likely in a third-pairing capacity. It's unclear if Doughty will be ready to go for Monday's game versus the Avalanche.

Doughty won't return to Thursday's game versus the Oilers due to a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty joins Joel Armia (upper body) as Kings players to exit this contest. Should Doughty miss time, Jacob Moverare would likely get a chance to enter the lineup. The Kings' next game is Saturday versus the Flames.

Doughty recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty snapped a 14-game point drought with the helper on Quinton Byfield's overtime tally. The 36-year-old Doughty went minus-13 with 23 shots on net, 10 hits, eight blocked shots and 14 PIM in that span. He's shown some age-related regression this season with just 14 points over 45 appearances, and he's also taken a step back in physicality with 24 hits, 49 blocks and 28 PIM. Still, he's playing a large role on the top pairing, so there is some potential.

Doughty (illness) is set to play Saturday in St. Louis, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty missed Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. He has three goals and 13 points in 41 outings in 2025-26. Jacob Moverare will likely be a healthy scratch against St. Louis due to Doughty's return.

Doughty will miss Tuesday's game versus the Rangers due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob Moverare will replace Doughty in the lineup and could also pick up power-play time. The 36-year-old Doughty's absence comes at a decent time, as the Kings' next game is Saturday in St. Louis, giving him plenty of time to get healthy again.

Doughty scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Doughty has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games (one goal, two assists). The 36-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, 13 points, 42 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating through 30 appearances this season. Doughty continues to play a prominent role for the Kings in the top four, but his production is a touch lower than it was last year when he was limited by an ankle injury.
