Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar embarrassed Dallas Stars defenseman Kris Russell on Tuesday.
Kopitar scored a jaw-dropping goal in the first period, dangling around Russell before firing a backhand over an outstretched Kari Lehtonen.
The marker, Kopitar's 22nd of the season, extended his point streak to three games. Earlier in the period, the 28-year-old picked up assist No. 432, pushing him past former great Bernie Nicholls for fifth on the franchise assist list.

Alex Galchenyuk is having a season to remember.
The Montreal Canadiens forward fired his 26th goal of the season past Florida Panthers goaltender Al Montoya on Tuesday and in the process collected point No. 47 on the season, surpassing his previous season high set in 2014-15.
The goal is Galchenyuk's seventh in five games and gives him a two-goal cushion over captain Max Pacioretty for the team lead.
Unfortunately, the goal did little for the Canadiens, who trailed the Panthers 3-1 after Galchenyuk got on the board.

Hoffman's goal was his 26th of the year, one shy of his career-best set last season.
