With Anze Kopitar on the cusp of a scoring milestone, the Kings put their 7-0-0 away mark against the defending Stanley Cup champions Wednesday
The Kings’ Anze Kopitar, center, celebrates his first-period goal with Quinton Byfield, left, and Matt Roy against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023, in Philadelphia. Opportunity will abound Wednesday when the Kings have the chance to move to a flawless 4-0-0 on their road swing and 7-0-0 away from home this season while captain Anze Kopitar has a shot to score career goal No. 400., where he recorded an assist to start the journey.
“We’ve brought some guys in and we have pretty much every line producing right now, which is a good thing for us,” said Adrian Kempe, last year’s team leader in goals. “That hasn’t been an issue for us this year, the goal-scoring.” Vegas joined the Kings, Canucks, Tampa Bay Lightning Toronto Maple Leafs and Pittsburgh Penguins among the most balanced scoring teams entering Tuesday’s action. The Golden Knights have been led by William Karlsson, who not only has 15 points in 13 outings but also a plus-12 rating buoyed by superlative checking and matchup domination.
But only Kopitar is closing in on the latest in a torrent of milestones, his 400th goal. Whenever he next finds the net, Kopitar will become the 108th player in NHL history to cross that threshold, and he could be joined by Boston’s Brad Marchand and Dallas’s Jamie Benn later this season. Like Marchand and Benn, Kopitar has played his entire career for one franchise and become its captain.
