Kings Vs Leafs: Notes and Projected Lines
The Los Angeles Kings look to get back into the win column on Tuesday, taking on the Toronto Maple Leafs at home.
The Kings are coming off a 3-2 shootout loss against the Edmonton Oilers, while the Leafs are coming off a 3-2 loss of their own against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Leafs are sitting third in their division, led by Auston Matthews torrid start to the season.
The Kings also sit third in their division, with Anze Kopitar leading the way for them.
The Kings have struggled a bit at home this season, not finding the same game they play on the road.
Cam Talbot is expected in net, but there's no update on where Arthur Kaliyev will play.
Kaliyev was demoted to the fourth line and benched for most of the third period on Saturday, so it will be interesting to see where McLellan puts Kaliyev Tuesday.
