Kopitar scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Kopitar tallied with 55 seconds left in the third period to bring the Kings within one, but the Oilers held them at bay. Kopitar was not the problem this postseason, putting up two goals, seven assists, eight shots on net, eight hits, six blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over six outings. The 37-year-old center is entering the final year of his contract in 2025-26. While his surface numbers were excellent in 2024-25 with 21 goals and 67 points over 81 regular-season outings, a significant decline in shot volume (98) and a career-high shooting percentage (21.4) raise red flags for regression on offense even if he remains an elite defensive center.

Kopitar notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Kopitar set up Andrei Kuzmenko's tally at 3:33 of the second period, which opened the scoring. The 37-year-old Kopitar is leading by example on offense with a goal and seven assists over five playoff contests, but he's also taken a minus-5 rating while adding six shots on net, six hits and six blocked shots. The center will continue to see time on the top line and first power-play unit as he tries to help the Kings bounce back in a must-win Game 6 on Thursday in Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Kopitar is up to one goal and six assists over three playoff outings. While his offense has been strong -- three of his seven points have come on the power -- the center is also sporting a minus-4 rating in the postseason. This was also his first time in five games logging multiple shots on net. The 37-year-old center should be fine as a playmaker on the first line and on the power play, but he may struggle to score goals if he can't increase his shot volume.

Kopitar scored a power-play goal and distributed three assists in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

One of Kopitar's helpers also came on the power play. The center has five points, two hits, two blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over the first two games of the postseason. Kopitar and Adrian Kempe have been playing at an elite level together for much of the year, and the addition of Andrei Kuzmenko has only strengthened the Kings' top line. Kopitar may have to do a bit more defensive work with the series shifting to Edmonton for the next two games.

Kopitar is up to 21 goals, 46 assists, 98 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating over 80 appearances. With the depth of the Kings' offense, Kopitar may see more of a shutdown role in the playoffs, though he should still be able to chip in offense, especially when the Oilers are not expected to be at full strength on defense in the first round.

EDGE Analysis

Efficiency has been the name of the game for Kopitar in 2024-25 -- he reached the 20-goal mark for the third year in a row and the 13th time in his 19-year career, but he's taken just 92 shots on net this season. He's at 64 points (21 on the power play), 66 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 78 appearances. Kopitar's drop in shot volume should be a red flag for fantasy managers in 2025-26, but his game has not dropped off yet.
