EDGE Analysis
Copley will make his second start of the season after allowing five goals on 19 shots in a 6-5 shootout loss to Carolina on Oct. 14. Cam Talbot played in the past three games for the Kings, going 2-1-0 with a .905 save percentage over that span.

Copley surrendered five goals on 19 shots in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Copley didn't perform very well from the start, yielding three goals in the first period. In the shootout, he allowed three goals on nine attempts. The 31-year-old was a stabilizing force for the Kings' goaltending last year, but this was a brutal first impression in 2023-24, though Cam Talbot wasn't much better in Wednesday's season opener. Both goalies will likely split starts in the early going, and that could last all season if one doesn't pull ahead of the other.

Copley will patrol the home crease Saturday against Carolina, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Copley will play in the Kings' second game of the 2023-24 campaign after Cam Talbot was between the pipes for Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Colorado. The 31-year-old Copley posted a mark of 24-6-3 last season with one shutout, a 2.64 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 37 appearances. He is expected to share starts with Cam Talbot during the 2023-24 campaign.

Copley stopped six of eight shots in relief of Joonas Korpisalo in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers eased up a bit after Copley got into the game, and the 31-year-old netminder still didn't put in a great effort. This was his first game action since April 8, and he's failed to record a win in his last four appearances. The Kings' season will be on the line in Game 6 on Saturday, but it seems likely Korpisalo will get the nod in that one.

Copley stopped 19 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Copley is starting to skid a bit, losing his last two starts. He's stopped 71 of 77 shots over his last three appearances. For the season, the 31-year-old netminder is at 24-6-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 37 outings. The Kings' last two games are favorable matchups -- they host the Canucks on Monday and visit the Ducks on Thursday -- so both Copley and Joonas Korpisalo should have a chance to get on track prior to the playoffs.

Per Eric Stephens of The Athletic, Copley was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, putting him on track to patrol the home crease versus Colorado on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Copley played well in his last start Tuesday against the Oilers, turning aside 30 of 32 shots, but he still came away with a loss due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. He'll attempt to secure his 25th win of the season in a tough home matchup with a surging Avalanche team that's won six of its last seven games.

Copley stopped all 22 shots he faced in relief of Joonas Korpisalo in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The damage was already done by the time Copley entered the game early in the second period. The 31-year-old has allowed more than two goals only once in nine appearances since the start of March. For the season, he's at 24-5-3 with a 2.60 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 36 games. Copley should be considered likely to start Saturday versus the Avalanche.

Copley gave up two goals on 32 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers. The third goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Copley entered Tuesday having won his last four outings. He wasn't tested much early on, but he couldn't keep pace as the Oilers' power play took over in the second half of the game. Copley slipped to 24-5-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 35 games this season. While he played well, it wouldn't be surprising to see Joonas Korpisalo get the start Thursday in Vegas.

Copley was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he will start Tuesday's home game against Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Copley has won his past four outings, including a 25-save performance in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Seattle. Through 34 contests this season, he has a 24-4-3 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .901 save percentage. Copley made 28 stops in a 6-3 win over Edmonton on Jan. 9. The Oilers rank first in the league this campaign with 3.97 goals per game.

Copley stopped 25 of 26 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
A low-scoring game finally went the Kings' way, with Copley's strong play a large part of the win. He limited the damage to an Oliver Bjorkstrand power-play tally in the third period, which came on a scrambled and failed clearance in the slot. This was Copley's fourth straight win, and he's allowed 10 goals in that span. For the season, the 31-year-old is at 24-4-3 with a 2.67 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 34 appearances. It'll likely be Joonas Korpisalo between the pipes for Sunday's road-trip finale in Vancouver.
