After an ugly 7-2 loss on Monday night, Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty is ready to wrap up the 2018-19 season.

The struggling Kings will play again Tuesday and then twice more on the weekend to finish up their regular-season schedule. But if Doughty had it his way, Los Angeles would be done even sooner.

"I wish we played all four games in a row, to be honest," he told The Athletic's Lisa Dillman. "I just want to get this over with."

The Kings are last in the Western Conference with 67 points and own the league's worst goal differential at negative-63. The club made the playoffs last season - although its run culminated in a first-round sweep - but will now miss out for the third time in five years since winning its second Stanley Cup in 2014.

Doughty, 29, has notched 44 points in 79 games this season and will begin an eight-year contract extension worth $11 million annually in 2019-20.
