Kings defenseman Mikey Anderson already has become a star
LA TimesWhen Mikey Anderson was initially paired with Drew Doughty to form the Kings’ top defense duo, Anderson was more inclined to ask Doughty for an autograph than to ask for a pass. “I was a little starstruck,” Anderson said of Doughty, a leader on the Kings’ Stanley Cup championship teams, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and winner of the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman in 2016. “He’s a guy I grew up watching on TV, playing with in video games,” Anderson said. “And then you come in here and you’ve got to play with him, it’s a little intimidating.” Doughty’s support helped Anderson shed his nerves and become a solid defender with a hard-hitting edge. “I think over the years we’ve realized what works for our group, and part of that is being a good defensive team,” Anderson said.
