AutoDraft Pro AI

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty has been placed on injured reserve after being hit by a shot in his left foot during last Saturday's game against Ottawa, a shot taken by Tyler Kleven. The 35-year-old missed Monday's game at Washington and will be out for the near future, with coach Jim Hiller stating he is 'week to week'. This injury is not related to the broken left ankle that caused him to miss the first 47 games of last season. Doughty, in his 17th NHL season, has recorded two goals and six assists in 19 games for the Kings this season. The two-time Stanley Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist is also hoping to be in contention for a role with Canada at the Olympics in February.
