The Kings left Wednesday afternoon for their one-game road trip to Phoenix without defenseman Drew Doughty, who is on injured reserve and will miss a second consecutive game. Doughty will not be able to return until Tuesday’s game against New Jersey at the earliest, and Murray said Doughty (upper-body injury) will do some conditioning skating Thursday in El Segundo, but otherwise Murray said he didn’t have an update on Doughty’s status.
MURRAY: “Not really. I talked to him yesterday afternoon, and he felt much better yesterday afternoon than he did the day before, and that’s a positive. He will stay here and work out and he will get on the ice on his own and kind of work through the therapy and the treatments that are prescribed by (trainer) Chris Kingsley. It’s getting better. As the days go by, it will improve with each one of them.’’
