Booth was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
Booth's demotion would seem to indicate that Drew Doughty (lower body) will be back in time to face the Islanders on Thursday -- though the Reign do play Wednesday, which would allow Booth to be brought back up for Thursday's tilt. In his NHL debut Monday, the 21-year-old Booth found the back of the net on his one shot on goal.

Kings' Angus Booth: Scores in NHL debut
Rotowire
Booth scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Booth was able to find the twine in his NHL debut. The 21-year-old defenseman's stay on the Kings' roster could be short, as he's filling in while Drew Doughty (lower body) is hurt and Jacob Moverare (personal) is away from the team. Booth has 10 points in 43 outings with AHL Ontario this season, so it's not likely he'll produce sustained offense during his NHL time.

Kings' Angus Booth: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
Booth (lower body) was activated from the injured non-roster list and loaned to AHL Ontario on Monday.
Booth sustained a lower-body injury in mid-September and was forced to miss just over a month due to the issue. He made 50 regular-season appearances in the AHL last year and racked up two goals, 13 points and 38 PIM, and he should have an opportunity to carve out ample playing time once again this year now that he's healthy.
