It seems L.A. Kings defenseman Drew Doughty’s mind is on something other than hockey these days.

In a matchup with the woeful Arizona Coyotes on Thursday night, Doughty reached out to Coyotes winger Clayton Keller during a faceoff not to trash talk, but drum up a golf game.

Doughty starts the conversation with Keller with a simple question: “What’s your handicap?” and seems surprised when Keller’s response is simply, “Scratch.”

Doughty fires back a priceless, “SCRATCH?! Let’s Play…I’m a seven.” Always good to get the other guy to offer up his handicap first. I have a feeling Drew’s trying to squeeze a few extra shots out of this one…

Fun to hear golf getting thrown around on the ice, especially in the heat of the battle.
