Kopi and Gabby. Gabby and Kopi.
The nicknames for Anze Kopitar and Marian Gaborik roll off the tongue so playfully they seemed destined to be side by side, like a pop music duo. And after a brief hiatus, it looks as though the Kings are getting the band back together.
Kings Coach Darryl Sutter reunited Kopitar and Gaborik for the first time this season Thursday, a move that was expected since Gaborik returned from a broken foot that kept him out for the first 21 games.
