There are two ways to look at fighting in a relatively meaningless preseason game.
Ill-advised? Or ingenious?
Kings defenseman Drew Doughty came up with a third way to capture Milan Lucic's way of inserting himself into the rivalry with their Southern California neighbor, the Ducks.
"That was cool," Doughty said. "I told him after the game, I didn't expect to see a fight [from him] until the regular season started."
Lucic engaged in a spirited and marathon scrap with young defenseman Josh Manson when the Kings and Ducks played at Staples Center on Sept. 29.
