What a player Kopitar remains. It’s amazing how formidable he continues to be despite age and mileage.
That OT winner last night is a beauty. But I can’t figure out, on the stretch pass that sprung him, did Byfield intentionally touch that puck, or did it just deflect off him, or did he not touch it at all? I know they gave him an assist but, try as I may, I can’t actually see it.
Edit - Byfield evidently acknowledged that he was just trying to touch the puck to prevent an icing. Bingo it’s a bank pass right on Kopitar’s stick with him in full stride.
