Anzacopitars just claimed the top spot on the Los Angeles King's all-time points list,

ending Marcel Dianne's 45-year reign.

The veteran center scored two goals against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday to pass Dianne's

mark of 1,307 points.

Copitars reached the milestone and is a 155-game with the team.

Dianne held the record from his time with the Kings between 1975 and 1987, piling up

those points over 900, 21 games.

He arrived in Los Angeles after starting with Detroit and later finished with the New

York Rangers.

Meanwhile, Copitars has spent his entire career with the Kings since being drafted 11th

overall in 2005.

Dianne, a scoring machine from Quebec has watched Copitars chase from afar while handling

his business across North America.

He grew up idolizing legends like Maurice Richard and set his own Kings record back in

1981.

Fans remember his triple-crown line in 650-goal seasons during a high octane era, Copitars,

the first Slovenian in the NHL, brings a different style as a two-way leader in his 20th and

final season.

He's captain for the 10th year, won two Stanley Cups and earned multiple awards like the

Selka and Lady Bing.

His career high was 92 points in 2017 to 18, and he's led the Kings and scored 15 times.

Dianne respects Copitars' consistency, calling him a solid team player.

No one is close behind, with Drew Dowdy at 703 points.

As Copitars wraps up, he cements his legacy at Top the Franchise Leaderboard.
