NHL Player Status: LA Kings defenseman Drew Doughty expected to make return against Blackhawks after seven-game absence

The Los Angeles Kings are set to receive a significant roster boost with the return of star defenseman Drew Doughty and forwards Warren Foegele and Phillip Danault. Doughty, sidelined since November 15 with a lower-body injury, and Foegele, out since October 26 with an upper-body injury, are expected to rejoin the lineup against the Chicago Blackhawks, providing much-needed stability.
