In an exciting matchup on Sunday, the Los Angeles Kings secured a narrow 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, highlighted by a pivotal power-play goal from veteran center Anze Kopitar. The goal came shortly after the Penguins had taken an early lead, marking a significant moment in the game and showcasing Kopitar’s ability to respond under pressure.
Kopitar’s recent performance reflects his resurgence following an injury earlier in the season. With this latest goal, the 38-year-old notched his second goal and eighth point over 12 games this season. Since his return to the ice on October 25, he has been on a scoring streak, racking up four points in just a handful of games, including goals in his last two outings. His consistent contributions are particularly noteworthy as he approaches a career milestone—just 14 points shy of reaching the impressive 1,300-point mark.
Despite being in the twilight of his illustrious 20-year career, Kopitar continues to perform at a high level, consistently producing nearly a point per game. His skills and experience make him a valuable asset, not only to the Kings but also in fantasy hockey leagues, where he remains a desirable roster choice. As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Kopitar can maintain this upward trajectory and achieve that coveted career milestone.
