It was the day before the NHL announced that it would be putting an expansion team in Las Vegas in June 2016, and Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty was asked if there was enough room for the Kings to have another rival.

That time begins Sunday when the Golden Knights and the Kings meet at 5 p.
