Drew Doughty has been activated from injured reserve by the Los Angeles Kings, marking his return after missing the first 47 games due to a broken ankle sustained during the preseason. Doughty will play against the Florida Panthers, the defending Stanley Cup champions, in his season debut. The veteran defenseman, who won the Norris Trophy in 2016 and is a two-time Stanley Cup champion, is entering his 17th NHL season.

The injury during a preseason game against the Vegas Golden Knights was initially expected to sideline Doughty for most of the regular season, but he successfully returned to practice last week. Last season, he averaged nearly 26 minutes on the ice per game, showcasing his elite skill level.

In a closely contested battle, Jonathan Huberdeau scored the decisive goal early in the third period, propelling the Calgary Flames to a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Calgary's rookie goaltender, Dustin Wolf, showcased his skills, making 31 saves to secure the win. Matt Coronato contributed to the Flames' offense, scoring his 10th goal and providing an assist.

The Kings, who had recently enjoyed a five-game winning streak, found themselves stymied, with Jacob Moverare netting their only goal. Despite a strong start with a man advantage, the Kings' power play woes continued as they couldn't capitalize on their chances.

The Kings' Jacob Moverare scored his first goal of the season, but the defeat ended their five-game winning streak. The matchup had previously been postponed due to wildfires in California.

Wolf's performance improved his season record to 14-6-2, making him the leading rookie goaltender in the NHL. The Kings struggled on their power play, going 0-for-3 despite an early advantage that saw them register nine shots without scoring.
