NHL On Tap: Kopitar closing in on milestones when Kings host Panthers
Florida Panthers at Los Angeles Kings (10 p.m. ET; MAX truTV, TNT, SN360, TVAS)
The Panthers (28-17-3) and Kings (25-14-5) meet for the first of two games this season with Florida captain Aleksander Barkov looking to extend a nine-game point streak (13 points; three goals, 10 assists) against Los Angeles dating back to Feb. 23, 2019. Forward Adrian Kempe has scored in three straight, including a goal in a 5-1 loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday that ended the Kings’ nine-game home winning streak. Kings captain Anze Kopitar (1,254 points; 431 goals, 823 assists in 1,417 games) needs a goal to pass Dave Taylor for third place in Los Angeles history. Kopitar has 666 points (217 goals, 449 assists) in 705 home games and is three points shy of tying Luc Robitaille (669 points; 322 goals, 347 assists in 540 games) for second-most home points on the Kings’ all-time list.
The Los Angeles Kings are set to host the Florida Panthers on Thursday night, and all eyes will be on Kings captain Anze Kopitar as he closes in on two major milestones.
Kopitar, who has been a cornerstone of the Kings franchise for over 15 years, is just one goal away from reaching the 350-goal mark in his career. The Slovenian center has been a consistent offensive threat for the Kings, and reaching this milestone would be a testament to his skill and longevity in the league.
In addition to his goal-scoring prowess, Kopitar is also nearing the 1,000-point mark in his career. With just 12 points to go, he could potentially reach this milestone before the end of the season, solidifying his place among the elite players in NHL history.
As the Kings take on the Panthers, Kopitar will have the opportunity to make history and further cement his legacy as one of the greatest players to ever wear the purple and gold. Be sure to tune in to see if Kopitar can reach these impressive milestones and lead the Kings to victory.
