Doughty exited the ice after trying to block a shot in the second period. The Kings later announced that he's not returning to the contest .
"Defenseman Drew Doughty will not return to tonight's game due to a lower-body injury," Los Angeles ' social media post on X, formerly Twitter, shared.
Before he left the Senators game at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Doughty had a plus-1 and two blocked shots for the Kings, who entered Saturday on the heels of a 4-3 overtime victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on the road on Thursday. That victory over the Maple Leafs also kept the Kings undefeated through three outings in their six-game road trip.
Doughty, who is in his 18th season in the NHL, remains an integral part of the Kings. Through the first 18 games he's played in the 2025-26 NHL regular season, the two-time Stanley Cup champion and former James Norris Memorial Trophy winner has a 54.5 percent Corsi for on all situations and a 55.1 percent Corsi for on even-strength scenarios.
