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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 power-play time decrease significantly this season from a career-low 2:35 in 2024-25 to only 1:34 this season.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 Kings still 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
