The Los Angeles Kings will face the Nashville Predators tonight at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN. They will do so with their captain back in the lineup as Anze Kopitar returns. He will center the top line as usual with his familiar wingers in Adrian Kempe and Andrei Kuzmenko. Kopitar hasn’t played since October 13th as he’s been out dealing with a foot injury. Kopitar is still looking for his first goal in his final season. He’s recorded four assists in four games and is a plus-two. Kopitar announced before the start of the season that he would be retiring following the 2025-26 season.
