Also, Doughty played a ton last night (31:51). You'd have to think they're in the market for a defencemen with Voynov's status up in the air.

They mentioned this yesterday prior to the game -- the Kings have played more hockey than any other team in the league the past few seasons. Plus, with Voynov gone Doughty's ice time has crept up 30 min plus per game, which may not be sustainable in the long term.
In any event, that's two games against the Kings where the Flames have had the upper hand in the final stages of the game.
