Since January 1, 2010, Kopitar ranks first among all Kings players in goals (232), assists (448), points (680) and plus-minus rating (+113).
The Kings captain was awarded the Selke Trophy twice (2016 and 2018) and the Lady Byng Award (2016) and was a finalist for the Hart Memorial Trophy for NHL MVP in 2018.

Kopitar has also led all Kings players in playoff assists (45), points (66) and plus-minus rating (+24). The Slovenian center was the club's leading scorer during both of the Kings Stanley Cup wins in 2012 and 2014.

Fans were inspired by each player's leadership, scoring abilities, and playmaking. But mostly, they were inspired to vote by the opportunity to receive a free McDonald's product.
