But the state of the Kings was measured psychologically by Anze Kopitar following a 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders. “I just think we’re not a confident group right now,” Kopitar said. The Kings mostly spent the final 40 minutes of regulation giving the Islanders power plays, and Kopitar and Dustin Brown shouldered much of that time in their own end. They got a dangerous power play. It gave them some momentum, [and] even when they don’t score, they get opportunities.”Kopitar and the Kings still found fight.
