Upper body injury keeps Doughty out

Drew Doughty suffered an upper-body injury during off-season training and is being held off the ice at the start of training camp.

According to a source in hockey operations, the injury occurred a “few weeks ago” and the timetable for his return is “not known” at this point.

Doughty skated on wed here in gundo btw – talked to him afterward and all seemed fine -:)

There was also news that Jarret Stoll would be held out of the first day of camp, but he took the ice with Group A. Stoll, who had off-season hip surgery, centered Kyle Clifford and Trevor Lewis during his first line rush.

Last year, Dustin Brown suffered a hamstring injury on the first day of training camp and did not get into a game until the season opener in Minnesota.
