LOS ANGELES — Drew Doughty is day to day because of a lower-body injury that kept the defenseman out of the Los Angeles Kings’ game against the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night. Doughty missed the first 47 games of the season after breaking his left ankle in a preseason game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Sept. 25. While Doughty sat out of the nationally televised game, the Canucks got their star defenseman Quinn Hughes back after missing six games because of an undisclosed injury. After initially being listed on the roster report as out, Hughes was the last player to take the ice, with the Canucks dressing seven defensemen.
