Tue Apr 08 02:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Kraken Look to Continue Winning Streak Against Kings; Doughty’s Status Uncertain

**LOS ANGELES, CA –** The Seattle Kraken are poised to face off against the Los Angeles Kings tonight, aiming to extend their winning streak following a decisive 5-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. While the Kraken are expected to field a similar lineup to their successful weekend game, the status of veteran defenseman Drew Doughty remains uncertain for the Kings.

Doughty, who left Saturday’s game against the Edmonton Oilers early due to an ankle injury, did not participate in Sunday’s practice. His availability for tonight’s matchup is currently questionable, leaving a significant hole in the Kings’ defensive corps. The Kings also remain without forwards Tanner Jeannot (undisclosed injury) and Alex Turcotte (upper body injury).

The Kraken’s projected lineup features familiar faces like Matty Beniers, Jared McCann, and Jordan Eberle, while the Kings will likely rely on key players such as Anze Kopitar, Adrian Kempe, and Kevin Fiala. The game promises a compelling clash between two Pacific Division rivals, with the outcome potentially hinging on Doughty’s ability to play.
