Opens scoring Saturday Kopitar scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Kopitar opened the scoring late in the first period. He's earned three goals and an assist over his last six outings. The 38-year-old center is up to a total of five goals, 13 points, 33 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 21 appearances. Kopitar has slipped into a second-line role during a relatively quiet stretch for the Kings' offense, but he's still on the top power-play unit and sees plenty of ice time.

Earns two points Thursday Kopitar scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.

Impact This was Kopitar's first multi-point effort of the season. He's had a strong November so far, earning four goals and three assists over nine outings this month. The 38-year-old center is up to four goals, 12 points, 25 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-8 rating across 17 appearances.

Strikes again on power play Kopitar scored a power-play goal and put two shots on goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to Washington.

Impact Kopitar tallied his third overall goal of the season on a second-period power play, but his goal wouldn't be enough to spark a comeback. All three scores 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 a year ago, but 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.

Finds twine Sunday Kopitar scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Kopitar lit the lamp on a power play just six minutes after the Penguins took an initial lead. With the score, the 38-year-old center is up to two goals, eight points and 18 shots on goal in 12 games this season. Since his return from injury on Oct. 25, he has four total points and is beginning to trend upwards with a goal in his last two games. The 20-year NHL veteran is just 14 points away from 1,300 tallies, which he should hit with ease later this season if he stays healthy. 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.

Tallies on power play Kopitar scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact The goal was Kopitar's first of the season. He has three points over his last four games. The 38-year-old center is at one goal, six helpers, 17 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-6 rating over 11 appearances. He missed some time due to a foot injury in October, but it's unclear if that has continued to hamper his performance since he returned to the lineup Oct. 25.
