Defiant Drew Doughty puts Connor McDavid, Oilers on notice after Kings' Game 2 thriller

The Los Angeles Kings picked up a vital 5-4 overtime win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the first round, and defenseman Drew Doughty was a big part of the win to tie up the series at 1-1. The Kings' performance in the 7-4 loss in Game 1 did not sit well with the team's captain. “That was huge,” Drew Doughty said, via Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. The veteran Doughty led all skaters with 29:07 minutes of ice time in the game, going up against Oilers superstar Connor McDavid, which is always a tall order for anyone.
