from Mark Whicher of the LA Daily News,

Speaking of Anze Kopitar, he was on the ice for Alex Iafallo’s third-period goal but remains at 43 points through 58 games. He also has zero power-play goals for the season. There are 333 players in the NHL who came into Monday night with at least one power-play goal. Teammate Matt Luff has a power-play goal. So does the Ducks’ Troy Terry, who has played only 12 games.

Last season Kopitar had 92 points. His previous low for a non-lockout season was 52, two years ago, after which General Manager Rob Blake suggested he pick up speed from somewhere.
The Kings need to pick up playmaking from somewhere. Plus-minus is the most deceptive of numbers, but Drew Doughty is minus-23. Carter has 10 goals. Tyler Toffoli has staged a recent spurt to get to 12.

Rookie Austin Wagner has the type of dynamic game that would perfectly supplement a skillful team. Instead, his appearances, on the fourth line, have been a highlight of the evening. That’s not how it should be.
