Kings defenseman Drew Doughty sustained a left ankle injury during Wednesday’s 3-2 preseason win over the Golden Knights, Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff reports.
An “initial quick x-ray” showed a fracture in the ankle, Seravalli said, with additional imaging set to occur Thursday. Doughty left the contest early in the first period and did not return after falling awkwardly while colliding with Golden Knights winger Tanner Pearson, causing his left foot to jam into the boards.
There’s no timeline for Doughty’s return yet. If there’s no additional structural damage to his ankle on top of the fracture, his recovery window will likely be set in the six-to-10-week range, according to the Mount Sinai Health System.
