Last night’s win for the Kings wasn’t just a feel-good triumph over a struggling organization. It was a milestone night for two of the most important Kings players, too.
First, Anze Kopitar scored his long-awaited 300th goal. It felt like a Very Kopitar Goal, too, with the assist coming from Dustin Brown, and Kopitar himself exhibiting extreme patience to pick his spot over Cam Talbot.
But perhaps the even bigger milestone was Jonathan Quick picking up his 300th career win. He didn’t have a ton of work to do, facing only 16 shots total the whole night, but a win is a win, and Quick made it count.
