Nobody will ever wear No. 11 for the Los Angeles Kings again.

The Kings are retiring Anze Kopitar's jersey and unveiling a statue in his honour, the team announced on Friday.

They will hold the ceremony on Feb. 24 when the Kings take on the Montreal Canadiens.

Kopitar retired at the end of last season after spending his entire 20-year career in L.A. He appeared in 1,521 games for the franchise with 1,316 points (452 goals, 864 assists) and served as captain since 2016.
