Drew Doughty took a flamethrower to the Los Angeles Kings, with the defenseman calling out his team after a home loss against New Jersey last week.
The Kings are tied for the NHL’s worst record after Saturday’s 5-1 victory over the Golden Knights, and the prospect of landing Jack Hughes with the No. 1 overall pick is the only real saving grace for the fans at Staples Center.
Doughty’s frustration finally boiled over after the 6-3 loss to the Devils on Thursday when he told reporters he didn’t have much to say, then went on to say the Kings were playing with a lack of emotion.
