Anze Kopitar became the 52nd player in NHL history to score 1,200 points during the Kings shutout of the Wild.
Captain Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist while recording his 1,200th career point, David Rittich made 30 saves in his third shutout of the season, and the Kings routed the Minnesota Wild 6-0 on Wednesday night. Viktor Arvidsson had his first goal of the season and an assist in his return from a month-long injury absence. Kevin Fiala and Phillip Danault also had a goal and an assist as the Kings wrapped up back-to-back home victories by a combined 12-2 over the past two days.
Fleury's teammates deflected two of the goals past him in a comprehensively ugly effort by the Wild, who came in with an eight-game points streak after beating Anaheim 4-0 one night earlier for their sixth win in those eight games. The Wild finished their three-game road trip at 1-1-1 after being shut out for the fourth time this season, but only the first since Jan. 13, when Arizona beat them 6-0.
