Coming in at No. 36 is LA Kings captain Anze Kopitar.

Kopitar was second on the Kings in scoring in 2016-17 with 52 points (10 goals, 42 assists) after leading them each of the previous nine seasons.
Named captain prior to last season, Kopitar led Kings forwards in total ice time (1,578:14), average ice time per game (20:45), power-play ice time per game (3:00) and shorthanded ice time per game (1:54).
Kopitar, who turned 30 last month, is a two-time Stanley Cup champion (2012, 2014). He won the Selke Trophy as top defensive player in the NHL and the Lady Byng Trophy as the league’s most gentlemanly player in 2015-16.
