Overview
- Doughty left the Nov. 15 game in Ottawa after a Tyler Kleven shot struck his foot and he also missed Monday’s game in Washington.
- The injured-reserve move sidelines him for at least seven days, with reporting indicating he will likely miss the upcoming games against San Jose, Boston and Ottawa.
- Coach Jim Hiller called the veteran week to week, and GM Ken Holland said the club is hoping for a two-to-three week timeline, with the injury not related to last season’s broken left ankle.
- Los Angeles recalled goaltender Pheonix Copley from AHL Ontario; he is expected to back up Anton Forsberg in San Jose, with Darcy Kuemper slated to start Friday.
- Doughty has two goals and six assists in 19 games while leading the Kings in ice time, and his absence could influence evaluations for Canada’s 2026 Olympic roster.
