Los Angeles Kings star Drew Doughty practiced for the first time on Monday since sustaining an ankle injury in September.

The first major impact that Doughty will add is that once he is back in the mix, his presence should reshape the defensive lineup, potentially pushing players with strong seasons into reduced roles. The Kings' goaltending is much to thank for why it's been difficult to score on them; the team allows the single-most shots on goal per game.
