Copley stopped 16 of 17 shots before he was given a match penalty in Friday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
A dust-up in the third period saw Copley leave his crease and engage in a shoving match with Frank Vatrano. The incident led to Copley's ejection, and the Ducks went on to score twice against Jonathan Quick in the third period. That means Copley will stay at 17-3-1 with a 2.70 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 23 outings. It's unclear if he'll face any supplemental discipline for his role in the fracas. The Kings host the Coyotes on Saturday, though that was always likely to be a start for Quick anyway.

Copley is 5-0-1 over his last six outings, posting a strong .923 save percentage during that span. On the year, he's 17-3-1 with a .903 save percentage and a 2.74 GAA. He defeated the Ducks on Dec. 20 by stopping 24 of 25 shots.

Copley allowed two goals on 29 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Copley carried a shutout for 50 minutes, but gave up goals to Dylan Cozens and Peyton Krebs in the third period. The 31-year-old Copley has won five of his last six outings, giving up 14 goals over that span. The Alaska native improved to 17-3-1 with a 2.74 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 22 contests overall. The Kings have a favorable back-to-back up next -- they visit the Ducks on Friday and host the Coyotes on Saturday, so Copley and Jonathan Quick should each get a start during that two-game stretch.

Copley was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he'll tend the twine at home versus Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Copley is coming off his first shutout of the season after stopping all 25 shots faced against Pittsburgh on Saturday. The netminder has just one regulation defeat in his last 10 contests, posting a 7-1-1 record and .902 save percentage in those contests. The 31-year-old appears to have cemented himself as the preferred choice between the pipes ahead of long-time Kings backstop Jonathan Quick.

Copley posted a 25-save shutout in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Copley has won four of his last five decisions, though there's a case to be made that this was his best start of the season. Adrian Kempe's four-goal outburst gave Copley plenty of cushion to work with. This was the 31-year-old's first shutout of the season, and it was the second of his career. He's up to 16-3-1 with a 2.77 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 21 outings. It appears he'll continue to hold onto the Kings' starting job in goal despite the team's inconsistent play prior to the All-Star break.

The Kings rewarded him with a one-year contract extension Friday. The Penguins sit 12th in the league this campaign with 3.29 goals per game.

Copley stopped 25 of 30 shots in the Kings' 5-4 overtime loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Supported to a 4-1 lead after the second period, Copley coughed up three goals in the third period and eventually the game-winner to Sebastian Aho in overtime. This game snaps a three-game winning streak for Copley and drops his record to 7-2-1 with a 3.08 GAA and a .896 save percentage in the month of January. Copley should continue to see the majority of starts moving forward as long as Jonathan Quick continues to struggle.

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 in Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Copley has won his past three outings, including a 45-save performance in last Friday's 4-3 victory over Florida. He has a 15-3-0 record this season with a 2.82 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 19 appearances. Carolina is tied for 11th in the league this year with 3.27 goals per game.

Copley made 45 saves in Friday's 4-3 win over Florida.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings got outshot 48-32 on the night, but Copley came up big when he needed to en route to his third straight win and 15th of the season. The 31-year-old's stint as the No. 1 goalie for L.A. doesn't seem likely to end any time soon, as he's gone 7-2-0 so far in January despite a 3.08 GAA and .896 save percentage.
