The Los Angeles Kings are expected to have Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Drew Doughty back in the lineup when they host the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night. Without him, the Kings let a 2-0 lead slip away against the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning and lost 4-2 on Wednesday. He’s played well all year, but particularly since Christmas.”The past two games have served as a microcosm of Los Angeles’ entire season. Ryan Miller should get the start in goal for Anaheim against the Kings after John Gibson played against the Lightning. He is 10-6-4 in 21 career starts against Los Angeles with a 2.38 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage, both of which are better than his career averages.
