The Los Angeles Kings have announced that Drew Doughty is out month-to-month with a fractured ankle.

Doughty will undergo surgery to repair his ankle that was fractured in a scary incident against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Kings also announced that Doughty will return this season.

This will have a huge impact on the Kings season, with them losing their top defensemen just two weeks before the season.

Sadly for Doughty, who was a prime candidate to make the 4-Nations Faceoff. This injury could have a huge impact in his chances of making the roster.
