Sorry Nikita Zaitsev, but stuck in the midst of a down year, Anze Kopitar will take 'em any way he can get 'em.
On a third period power play Thursday night, the Los Angeles Kings captain let a one-timer loose that was tracking well wide, until a deflection off Zaitsev's head pushed it right into the open goal.
The bizarre marker was Kopitar's seventh of the season.
