After earning his 998th and 999th points on Monday, Anze Kopitar notched his 1,000th-career point as the LA Kings won their second-straight game in Arizona.
He didn’t have to wait long to hit the milestone. Just one game after notching his 998th and 999th career points, Anze Kopitar hit the 1,000-point plateau on Wednesday night, assisting on a Sean Walker empty-netter to put a period on a hard-fought 4-2 victory for the LA Kings in Arizona.
