Doughty Eyes Team Canada Role for 4 Nations

Drew Doughty is preparing for his imminent return to the Los Angeles Kings after recovering from a broken ankle sustained during preseason. With Alex Pietrangelo withdrawing from the 4 Nations Face-Off due to an undisclosed injury, Doughty sees an opportunity to represent Team Canada at the tournament, which takes place in Montreal and Boston from February 12-20, 2025. Doughty's potential selection is contingent on proving his fitness in upcoming NHL games, as Team Canada has until February 11 to finalize their roster. Known for his international experience, including two Olympic gold medals, Doughty's return is highly anticipated by fans and could significantly bolster the Kings' performance. A decision on his participation will depend on his ability to play at his usual physical level, as he aims to avoid low ice-time roles upon his return.
