FUN! WITH! NUMBERS!
Featuring: Anze Kopitar. You know, in case you haven’t been paying attention this week.
330: The number of consecutive games played by Kopitar between March 21, 2007, and March 26, 2011. That broke Marcel Dionne’s franchise record.
85: In NHL history, the number of players with a higher assist-per-game ratio than Kopitar’s 0.57.
81: Kopitar’s point total in 2009-10, the highest by a King since Ziggy Palffy put up 85 points in 2002-03 and still the highest post-full-season-lockout point total by an LA player.
60: Anze’s career point total in the postseason, third all-time among LA players behind Wayne and Luc. (What a coincidence, they’re all on a first-name basis.)
55.6: His career Corsi For percentage.
16: Age at which Kopitar led the Slovenian Hockey League in scoring.
11: His number, and the pick with which he was drafted in 2005.
10: Consecutive games with a point to start the 2013-14 playoffs.
8: Franchise rank in regular-season goals (218) and games played (683).
7: Franchise rank in regular-season points (610).
6: Franchise rank in regular-season assists (392).
5: Franchise rank in era-adjusted regular-season goals, assists, and points according to Hockey Reference.
4: Franchise rank in regular-season game-winning goals (31).
3: Career All-Star Game appearances; in franchise history, that trails only Dionne, Gretzky, Robitaille, Blake, and Taylor. And there have only been six total All-Star Games in Kopitar’s career! (Kopitar also played in the Young Stars Game in his rookie season.)
2: Rings.
1: Number of Slovenian-born players other than Kopitar to play an NHL game.
0: Seasons with fewer than 0.8 points per game, fewer than 10 even-strength goals, a shooting percentage lower than 10%, or a faceoff percentage below 49%.
