Status report

Each team held an optional morning skate Friday. … Doughty is expected to return after missing a 3-2 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday with a lower-body injury. ... The Kings could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... Bichsel remains in concussion protocol but is progressing, according to coach Pete DeBoer; the defenseman is day to day after being injured on a hit by New York Islanders forward Casey Cizekas during a 4-3 win Sunday.
