Watch: Kopitar's slick handles lead to Gaborik's goal

Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports

Anze Kopitar might not be scoring goals with his usual regularity these days, but the veteran pivot still knows how to pull his offensive weight.

Kopitar broke out some vintage dangles during the Los Angeles Kings' matchup with the Washington Capitals on Saturday night, toe dragging past defender Matt Niskanen to launch a quick shot on net. Philipp Grubauer stopped Kopitar's initial attempt, but poked out a hefty rebound which was promptly buried by Marian Gaborik.

The goal was Gaborik's second in as many games, and the assist gave Kopitar 39 points on the season.
