Kings' Anze Kopitar: Strikes again on power play
Anze Kopitar scored a power-play goal and put two shots on goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to Washington.Kopitar tallied his third overall goal of the season on a second-period power play, but his marker wouldn't be enough to spark a comeback. All three goals from the 38-year-old star this season have been with a man advantage, giving him an added boost in fantasy leagues that place a premium on power-play points. Overall, the 20-year NHL veteran has 10 points and 23 shots on net through 16 games this season. He's currently a few points shy of the pace needed to maintain his production of 67 points through 81 regular-season games from a year ago, but he still has plenty of time to get involved in the offense. Kopitar has excelled as a playmaker since entering the league in 2006, and the rest of his final season should be no different.

Even in his last season, Kopitar is still a near point-per-game player and has a case to be rostered in most fantasy formats.
