Kopitar is on FIRE!

Currently, Anze Kopitar is tied with Alexander Ovechkin for league lead in points, with 16. (8G, 8A) The other day I happened to be looking at the league leaders on NHL.com, and I noticed Kopitar and Smyth in four different columns. Not bad!

Kopitar scored his first career NHL hat trick on Thursday night against the Dallas Stars, but it was quickly looked over due to the Kings blowing a 4-1 lead. Game ended 55 seconds into overtime with Handzus scoring the game winner.

Check out Kopitar's hat trick. The first goal was a thing of absolute BEAUTY! I still can't get over. Definite highlight reel goal!



Hopefully Kopitar can keep the point streak alive tonight against the Coyotes in Phoenix. Currently as it stands, the Kings top line of Smyth-Kopitar-Williams has 39 points in 10 games. Pretty impressive start.

Also gotta throw in there that Quick is tied for 3rd in the league with 6 wins.
