* Marian Gaborik scored his League-leading 10th goal of the playoffs (18 GP), surpassing his career high of nine established in 2003 (18 GP with MIN). Only Wayne Gretzky (15 G in 24 GP in 1993) and Luc Robitaille (12 G in 12 GP 1991) have posted more goals in a single postseason in Kings history.

* Kopitar leads the NHL with a career-high 17 assists and 22 points, and now has registered at least one point in 15 of the team’s 18 playoff games. Only Gretzky (15-25—40 in 24 GP in 1993) and Tomas Sandstrom (8-17—25 in 24 GP in 1993) have collected more points in a single postseason in Kings history (two others tied with 22).

* Since Dec. 21, Kopitar has been held pointless in consecutive games just once: April 3-5. He has 23-40—63 in 64 games in that span (regular season and playoffs).

* ICYMI: Kopitar was mic’d up for both of his assists in Game 4: on goals by Gaborik and Doughty.

* The line of Tanner Pearson (1-0—1, +1), Jeff Carter (0-1—1, +1) and Tyler Toffoli (0-1—1, +1) totaled three points and a +3 rating. All three players are riding five-game point streaks, combining for 22 points and a +16 rating in that span – Carter: 5-6—11, +6; Pearson: 2-4—6, +6; Toffoli: 3-2—5, +4.

* The Kings now have the top four scorers in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Kopitar (5-17—22), Carter (8-12—20), Gaborik (10-6—16) and Williams (6-9—15) . . .

* . . . as well as the two highest-scoring rookies: Toffoli (6-5—11) and Pearson (3-8—11).

* With two points, Doughty (3-11—14) also moved ahead of P.K. Subban (5-8—13) for the most points by a defenseman in the postseason. Doughty’s 14 points are two shy of his career high, set in 20 games in 2012 (4-12—16).

* Muzzin now has five goals in the playoffs (18 GP), tied with Subban for the League lead among defensemen. That also matches his total from the regular season (76 GP).

* Dustin Brown scored his fourth career postseason game-winning goal and first since May 13, 2012 at PHX (Game 1 of CF).

DID YOU KNOW?

* The Blackhawks are facing a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven series for the 13th time in franchise history. They are 1-11 all-time in that scenario, but their lone win came in their most recent such series: the 2013 CSF vs. DET.
