Doughty, who has not played since the League-mandated five-day break and the 2020 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend because of an undisclosed injury, practiced Saturday. Kings coach Todd McLellan said Doughty would likely practice again Monday and the defenseman could return at the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.
The Kings will try to win consecutive games for the first time since Dec. 15-17 after defeating the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 in overtime on Thursday to end a five-game winless streak (0-4-1).
The Ducks are playing the second of back-to-back games after losing 4-3 at home to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday.

Players to watch

Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf had two assists against the Lightning. He has 57 points (19 goals, 38 assists) in 73 games against the Kings.
Kings forward Alex Iafallo has four goals in his past two games, including a hat trick against Arizona.

They said it

"It feels like we play really well most times in the game and then something happens and it's in the back of our net, so we still have some things to work on." -- Ducks forward Rickard Rakell
"He's scoring right now because he is shooting. … Alex isn't a younger player anymore. He's established himself in the League. You can be a little bit of selfish at times and shoot it." -- Kings coach Todd McLellan on Alex Iafallo
