The Los Angeles Kings' top defender suffered a gruesome injury, which could pave the way for their top young defenseman for a larger role this season.
during their recent preseason contest. Veteran defenseman and former Norris Trophy winner Drew Doughty suffered a lower-body injury that looked awful and could keep him out for an extended period of time.
To find a silver lining amongst the dark clouds for the Kings, the injury to Doughty opens the door for a massive opportunity for Brandt Clarke. The team's first round selection in 2021 is one of the league's brightest young players and received an audition in the NHL last year, playing in 16 games with the Kings.
