After being taken to the locker room for further evaluation, LA PR later announced that the 34-year-old defender would not return to the game.

Defenseman Drew Doughty will not return to tonight's game due to a lower-body injury.

No further information is available at this time. The team is likely waiting for further medical imaging of Doughty.

In his place, Jordan Spence and Kyle Burroughs were able to dramatically increase their time on the ice.

STATISTICAL CHECK

Jordan Spence was the best skater in the P1 TOI with 9:24

Probably a career highlight in a period of time?!?
