Doughty's family also joined him on the ice, where Kings president Luc Robitaille presented Doughty with a crystal trophy on behalf of the NHL and Kings general manager Rob Blake gave Doughty a silver stick on behalf of the organization.
The two-time Stanley Cup champion then addressed the crowd, sticking to his usual style of short and sweet. He thanked his family, teammates, the Kings organization and the Los Angeles fanbase.
"Who else?" he said. "Edmonton, thanks for going through this. I know it sucks watching it but we'll get out there in a sec. That's all I got. Thank you guys and let's get a win."
Doughty is in his 14th NHL season, all of which he's played with the Kings. He is the fifth player in Kings history to appear in 1,000 NHL games, joining teammates Dustin Brown (1,277) and Anze Kopitar (1,177), Dave Taylor (1,111) and Robitaille (1,077).
Doughty has an assist against the Oilers and has scored 561 points (130 goals, 431 assists) in 1,004 career regular-season games. Among Kings defensemen, he leads in games played, assists and points. Among all Los Angeles players, he's tied for sixth in assists and is ninth in points.
"For a goalie, to have [Doughty] playing in front of you for the past 12, 14 years, whatever it's been, it's made my job a lot easier," Kings goalie Jonathan Quick said.
The only thing that seems to be missing from Doughty's Hall of Fame resume is his two front teeth.
