Drew Doughty has period to forget in Los Angeles Kings loss

[seestyle]

This one will probably stick with Drew Doughty for a while although he'll want to forget it as quickly as po sible.
The Los Angeles Kings defenseman didn't play particularly poorly against the James White Jerseys Edmonton Oilers on Friday night, posting a team-high 25:40 of ice time while registering fourshots and finishing at plus-1, but a few minutes in the first period ruined the rest of the Julian Edelman T Shirts game for him and his team.
Doughty's rough stretch started midway through the opening framewhen an Adrian Kempe penalty put the Oilers on a power play. With Doughty on the ice to help defendEdmonton's man advantage, Oilers star Leon Draisaitl received the puck from teammate Alex Chia son. Draisaitl pondered his options from the Cole Strange Jerseys right wing before attempting to slot a cro s-ice pa s to a waiting Chia son in front of goal only to watch as Doughty inadvertently kicked the puck past Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick and into the Los Angeles net for the game's opening goal.
Minutes later, Doughty againfound himself on the ice Joe Cardona Jerseys against a feared Oilers forward. This time it was Connor McDavid, whose speed is just one of the many weapons at his disposal.

With the entire Kings team backpedaling while McDavid entered their defensive zone, Doughty lost his footing temporarily. To his credit, the 29-year-old blueliner managed to block McDavid's pa s attempt while prone on the iceandquickly got back to his feet to try to deliver a hit on the Oilers superstar.
Unfortunately for Doughty, his attempted check resulted in nothing but air as McDavid deftly Tedy Bruschi Jerseys avoided the challenge and sent the defenseman hard into the boards.

Doughty did get a measure of redemption in the third period when he a sisted on Michael Amadio's goal to give the Kings life, but Edmonton held on for a 2-1 victory.
It has been a rough season for the last-place Kings and . Friday's first period just added to the Curtis Martin Jerseys misery.
