Zegras hoping to stay hot for Flyers
Trevor Zegras enters Monday with a seven-game point streak for Philadelphia. The forward has nine points (five goals, four assists) during the streak, which is the longest for a Flyers player in his first season with the team since Jaromir Jagr had a seven-game point run in 2011-12. Zegras, who leads Philadelphia with 35 points (15 goals, 20 assists), can become the fourth player in Flyers history to lead the team in scoring in his first season there, joining Jeremy Roenick (2001-02, Rod Brind’Amour (1991-92) and Lou Angotti (1967-68).
Kopitar closing in on Kings record
It’s a longshot for Anze Kopitar to hit a major milestone when the Los Angeles Kings take on the Columbus Blue Jackets at Crypto.com Arena (10 p.m. ET; FDSNOH, FDSNW, TVAS2). However, the Kings captain, who is in his final NHL season, could continue to move closer to both 1,300 points, and eventually the record for the most points in Kings history. Kopitar has 1,295 points (446 goals, 849 assists) in 1,484 games. He is 12 points away from tying Marcel Dionne (1,307 points) for the most in franchise history. Kopitar has 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 30 games this season. Defenseman Zach Werenski is considered day to day for the Blue Jackets (14-15-6) with an injury he sustained blocking a shot during a 4-3 loss to the Ducks on Saturday. Werenski is tied for the NHL lead among defensemen with 14 goals and is second in points (40).
