Season review
Copley started training camp with the LA Kings, but after being placed on waivers with the purpose of being assigned to the Reign, was claimed by the Tampa Bay Lightning. Copley would soon be acquired again by the Kings and finished the season with the Reign and a handful of games with the Kings.
Copley, in his first game with the Reign after being re-acquired by the organization, made 24 saves in a 5-2 road victory over the Abbotsford Canucks. The start of the season proved to be a rocky start for the veteran, but his play got better as the season progressed.

Copley is an unrestricted free agent on July 1st.
