Nets equalizer Kopitar scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Kopitar's third-period tally tied the game at 4-4, erasing the Kings' three-goal deficit. The center continues to provide consistency on offense with at least one point in six of seven games this season. He's at four goals, four helpers, 17 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Friday's game was just the second time this season Kopitar finished with less than 20 minutes of ice time -- he's showing no signs of slowing down at age 36.

One of each Tuesday Kopitar scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.

Impact Kopitar tied the game at 1-1 with his first-period tally, and he also helped out on Adrian Kempe's empty-netter. Through six contests, Kopitar has been quietly effective with three goals and four helpers. He's added 13 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating while playing in his usual top-line role with big minutes in all situations.

Two tallies Saturday Kopitar scored a pair of goals on three shots, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Kopitar's first goal came on the power play, and his second was shortly after another man advantage expired. Through two contests, Kopitar's performance is right where it should be. He's managed three points, five shots on net, four blocks and a minus-2 rating while continuing to play big minutes on the top line in his age-36 campaign.

Slides helper in loss Kopitar notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Kopitar set up Quinton Byfield's goal late in the second period to cut the deficit to 3-2. Now in his 18th season, Kopitar is still the Kings' top-line center. He's produced at least 60 points in every full-length season since 2017-18, and he's shown few signs of slowing down. The 36-year-old signed a two-year extension with the Kings in the offseason, so it's safe to assume he'll remain a prominent part of the team's lineup this season.

Locked up through 2025-26 Kopitar inked a two-year, $14 million contract extension with LA on Thursday.

Impact Kopitar has one season left on his eight-year, $80 million contract, so he's now locked up through 2025-26. He had 28 goals and 74 points in 82 contests last season, making it the 14th time in his 17-campaign career in which he's finished with at least 60 points. However, Kopitar will turn 36 years old in August, so the Kings are taking a bit of a risk by committing to him at a high cap hit for the next three seasons.

Posts assist in loss Kopitar notched an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

Impact Kopitar has two goals and five helpers through five playoff contests, but the Kings are now behind 3-2 in the series. The 35-year-old was reunited with winger Alex Iafallo after Quinton Byfield was demoted to the third line mid-game. Kopitar is talented enough to be productive regardless of linemates, but he should benefit from some familiarity if that change sticks.

Impact Kopitar is up to two goals and six points in four playoff appearances this year. His efforts are the latest chapter in what's been a great career for the 35-year-old. Through 90 career postseason contests, he has 24 goals and 76 points. Kopitar's marker Sunday put LA up 3-0 late in the first period, but Edmonton rallied from there to spoil the Kings' night.
