EDGE Analysis

Copley has taken over as the Kings' top netminder, as he has started nine of the last ten games. Copley has a great record, having gone 14-3-0 this season, but his peripherals are not indicative of his record, as he's currently sporting a 2.80 GAA and an .897 save percentage. The Kings have scored 62 goals in 18 games for Copley, averaging 3.44 goals per game, good for seventh best in the NHL when he starts. Copley will face the Panthers, who are averaging 3.40 goals per game, well down from last season when they averaged an NHL-best 4.11 goals per contest.
