The Los Angeles Kings continue their eastern road trip with a marquee matchup against the struggling Toronto Maple Leafs. Welcome back to NHL Predictions with The Last Word On Hockey. The LA Kings are coming off a dominant 5–1 statement win over the Montreal Canadiens. In that game their depth, discipline, and defensive structure shone. On the other side, the Maple Leafs limp into this one riding a three-game losing skid. Also, they're missing three of their most crucial players, starting goaltender Anthony Stolarz, superstar centre Auston Matthews, and shutdown defenceman Chris Tanev. For a team already battling defensive inconsistency and mounting pressure.
