Pregame comments about the Monahan line...

“I guess they’ve had success this year,” Doughty said on Thursday after the morning skate here. ”But I don’t know, I still don’t see them as some of the other lines in the league, that’s for sure. They’re definitely a good line and they’ve been playing great and Monahan is a very good player.”
Hudler has 29 goals and 73 points and happens to be a plus-14. Gaudreau, heading into Thursday night’s action, is leading a very tight rookie NHL scoring race with 62 points. Monahan has 31 goals and 61 points.
“But it’s nothing that we can’t handle,” Doughty said. “We still have one of the best defense corps in the league. We have very good defensive forwards too. We haven’t been able to shut them down so far this year, but tonight, in order to win, we’re going to have to.”

...You know, the line that had a combined 6 points tonight.
I guess when you consider that they came close to another 2 or 3 goals, I guess the Kings did a good job handling them...I guess.
