What we learned from the Kings’ 2-1 overtime victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday:
1. If Drew Doughty played for a team on the East Coast or in the Midwest, he would have won the Norris Trophy long ago and would be widely mentioned as a top candidate this season.
He should be at the top of the list, and he continued to prove his value as a game-changer Tuesday. He scored the tying goal, drew a penalty that gave the Kings a late power play and made a defensive play that prevented a Vancouver odd-man rush while playing a season-high 31 minutes and 40 seconds.
