It's been a pretty successful World Championships tournament for Kings participants. Drew Doughty joined Dustin Brown, Peter Harrold, Jack Johnson and Alexander Frolov in the semifinals when Canada beat Latvia 4-2 this morning.

Doughty had an assist on Dan Hamhuis' second-period power-play goal, which made it 2-0 Canada. Canada went on to lead 3-1 and 4-2 and advances to tomorrow's semifinals to face either Sweden or the Czech Republic (that game is at 11:15 a.m. today)
