Drew Doughty - Needs surgery, is month-to-month Doughty will undergo surgery to repair a fractured ankle and is month-to-month, the team announced Friday. Impact The loss of Doughty can't be overstated for the Kings. He's a massive part of their blue line, averaging 25:48 of ice time last season, including 3:15 with the man advantage. He had 15 goals, 50 points, 44 PIM, 109 hits and 142 blocks across 82 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. With Doughty out for an extended period, Jordan Spence might serve on the No. 1 power-play unit while the 21-year-old Brandt Clarke might begin the campaign as a member of the top four.
