The Los Angeles Kings rolled out the red carpet for Captain Anzacobatar Thursday at Crypto.com,

Arena.

They threw a pre-game ceremony honoring him as the franchise is all-time leading scorer

before taking on the Nashville Predators.

He clinched the mark back on March 14th, passing Marcel Dionne with his 1,307th and 1,300

career points against the New Jersey Devils.

His wife Enes, kids Nessa and Jacob, parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nieces all hit the

ice with him for the moment.

King's President Luke Robatale, XGM Dave Taylor, and former teammates Alec Martinez and

Jared Stoll showed up to celebrate.

A slick video narrated by actor Isaiah Mustafa broke down the milestone, then 1,308 foam

pucks rained down from the rafters.

Robatale handed over a gold and stick, and they gifted Copiatar a portrait of him hoisting

the Stanley Cup.

The little ones even showed on the bench during warm-ups, stealing the show early.

Fans aided up during Anzacobatar Legacy Night, snagging visor glasses and jerseys styled

after their star.

This caps two decades of dominance, all spent with the Kings.

He snagged two Stanley Cups in 2012 and 2014, stepping up as Captain in 2016.

Puitars hang up the skates as seasons end, leaving a blueprint for loyalty and leadership

that echoes through the league.
