How does a defensemen get a shutout? Unless you mean on a team where the goalie earned a shutout. Either way, I give up? Aki Berg?

Honestly, I don't know if he was the first but it happened last year. The first three games voynov played in we're the three straight shutouts by quick

Aki Berg was a joke.

When I said "if he was the first" I was referring to voynov

Not having Mitchell and Greene is going to hurt the entire defense.

If we're gonna start calling out kings D players lets make this about Voynov. Dude has been in full BEASTMODE all season long and doesn't even make a mil while doughnuts demands 7. I've been a believer since early last season...

Voynov > Doty

I won't stop joking about JJ until
1) Kings fans recognize how bad he really is/was
2) He performs at a level that proves me wrong

Not my creation, so credit to the programmer.
And you never know when a miracle can happen.

Other King's Defense +/-

Scuderi= -7

Voynov= +4
Martinez= 0

Muzzin= +3
Drewiske= +2

So why is Doughty playing 30 minutes a game average?

...because he is the Kings' best overall defenseman. The other defenseman are having a more superior season to Drew to this point but they also aren't the 'go to guy' on defense, they aren't always put on the ice in the most crucial points of the game like Doughty always is, and like you said, they don't log 30 minutes of ice time a game. You put as much weight and ice time on any of the other defenseman on the Kings, they wouldn't be performing like they are. He takes a lot of attention off other players when he's on the ice, just watch how many times a game the opponent tries to run him; it just goes with his territory and he knows it.

All of that being said, he does need to step up his game; no doubt.
