In the final minute of the LA Kings matchup against the Arizona Coyotes, Kings captain Anze Kopitar tallied his 1,000th NHL point with an assist on Sean Walker's empty-net goal.
"This one was really in the moment," Kopitar said. "I'm kind of speechless - I'm obviously very excited and very happy. It's great to be a part of this club and hopefully there's a few more to come.
