The Kings' crown jewels are scoring, Holtby at peak performance, MacKinnon, Ribeiro, Scrivens, Kassian, fantasy and more in Scott Cullen's Statistically Speaking.

HEROES

Tyler Toffoli and Anze Kopitar - The Kings' top line took control in a 5-0 win at Vancouver. Toffoli tallied a hat trick, and has eight points (6 G, 2 A) in the past six games, while Kopitar recorded four assists, giving him 19 points (5 G, 14 A) in the past 17 games - a nice recovery after starting the season with seven points in the first 18 games.

Braden Holtby - Washington's goaltender stopped all 31 shots he faced in a 2-0 win at Buffalo, and it solidifies Holtby's status as the Vezina front-runner. He has a .949 save percentage in December, giving him a career-best .935 save percentage in 29 games.

ZEROES

Derek Dorsett - The Canucks winger was on for six shot attempts for and 24 against (20.0 SAT%), on the ice for three goals against in a 5-0 loss to the Kings.

Henrik Lundqvist - It's been a tough month for King Henrik, who was pulled after allowing five goals on 35 shots at Nashville. Lundqvist had a .935 save percentage in 20 games through the end of November, as he covered for the Blueshirts' shortcomings, but he's fallen off in December, with an .890 save percentage in 10 games.

Martin Jones - Gave up five goals on 25 shots in San Jose's 6-3 loss to Colorado. He has an .871 save percentage in the past four games, dropping his save percentage to .912 in 29 games.
