LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jona-
than Quick and Anze Kopi-
tar have been teammates
since they were drafted
together 13½ years ago
by the Los Angeles Kings,

milestone achievements

the Kings out of the NHL

300th victory and Kopitar
scored his 300th goal while
Los Angeles escaped last
place in the overall league
standings with a 4-0 win
over the Edmonton Oilers.
