Top 10 Goals Of The 2020-21 Season

Although this season did not end in a playoff run, there were plenty of highlights from the 2020-21 campaign. From a 1,000th point by Anze Kopitar and the ensuing celebration to four Kings scoring their first career NHL goal; rookies to veterans, offense came from everywhere in all situations.

This past season, the Kings scored 142 goals. Of the 142 goals, 32 came on the power play and three came shorthanded. Dustin Brown, the Kings net-front presence on the top unit lead the power play with nine goals on the man advantage and Trevor Moore, the tenacious winger lead the team in shorthanded goals with two.
Here are the Top 10 Goals of the 2020-21 Season:

10. Lias Andersson's first goal with the Kings

After being acquired in the offseason from the New York Rangers for a 2020 second-round pick, Andersson, the former seventh-overall draft pick in 2017 netted his first goal with the Kings on a breakaway after leaving the penalty box. I guess sometimes taking a penalty can be a good thing...

9. Drew Doughty's flexible rebound PPG

Doughty, as always, was a centerpiece on the Kings power play and showed everyone why with this one-timer rebound put-back. Doughty's six power play goals this season lead the NHL among defenseman.

8. Anze Kopitar's gorgeous late game-winner in the Freeway Face-Off

Point 997 came in dramatic fashion for the Kings captain. Weaving around the Ducks, Kopitar put together a pair of beautiful moves on his way to the net, burying the game-winning goal with 56 seconds remaining while taking a hard tumble to the ice.

7. Dustin Brown pockets a beauty on the PP in his career 1,200th game

Bobbing and weaving, Brown finds his way around the Blues penalty killers to stuff home a shifty goal.

6. Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Arthur Kaliyev, Tobias Bjornfot and Rasmus Kupari score their first career NHL goals.

Four-in-one! The future looks bright with the youth in the Kings organization seeping into the Kings lineup, and now scoring too.

5. Andreas Athanasiou slalom's through the Ducks for a beauty of a individual goal

The speedster used his puck skills, agility and momentum to make this goal happen!

4. Drew Doughty dangles his way through the Sharks, sets up Adrian Kempe

Yet another play where Doughty shows off his agility and handles. Doughty undresses the Sharks and finds Kempe at the doorstep ready to finish off the great play.

3. Gabriel Vilardi goes between-the-legs to set up a streaking Lias Andersson

With much attention on the Kings 2017 first-round draft pick this past season, Vilardi showed off a bit of skill and creativity to produce a beautiful tap-in goal scored by Andersson.

2. Tic-tac-toe, Jaret Anderson-Dolan from Trevor Moore and Carl Grundstrom

Teamwork makes the dream work folks. Get it deep, forecheck, get the turnover, bing-bang-boom. All three forwards got in on this one to create an unselfish and masterful goal.

1. Anze Kopitar's 1,000th point

I never expected an empty net goal to be a team's top goal of the year, but there are exceptions! With the primary assist on Sean Walker's 200-foot goal, Kopitar made history becoming the 91st player in NHL history to record 1,000 points. Congratulations Anze!
