Kopitar is the fifth Kings player with 900 points, joining Marcel Dionne (1,307), Luc Robitaille (1,154), Dave Taylor (1,069), and Wayne Gretzky (918).
"Well, it will probably take a little while before that sinks in," said Kopitar, who reached the mark in 1,016 games. "But, yeah, I knew it was coming up. I figured it would be a good time to do it tonight, but, unfortunately, it's obviously bittersweet cause we lost."
Boeser tied it 1-1 on the power play with a sharp-angle shot from the left circle at 17:39. Pettersson's initial slap shot one-timer was blocked back to Hughes, who got the puck back to Pettersson. He wound up for another one-timer, only to find Boeser across the zone with a slap pass, the first of his three assists.
"Our power play is really clicking right now, and I think we're starting to really have some good chemistry up there just kind of reading and knowing what each guy is going to do, so I think that's huge and we got to make sure we keep going," Boeser said.
The Canucks took a 2-1 lead at 19:34 when Horvat tipped a long shot by Hughes on a power play.
Adrian Kempe tipped Kopitar's pass on the power play to tie it 2-2 at 10:06 of the second period.
Boeser put the Canucks back in front 3-2 at 15:17 on a backhand after catching the Kings in a line change.
