The Los Angeles Kings will return home tonight to Staples Center after a 6-game road trip to host the Toronto Maple Leafs and payback will be on their minds. The Kings suffered their first regulation loss to the Leafs, 3-2, on October 23rd in Toronto. Los Angeles is off to a great start at 9-2-1-0 and are 4-0-1-0 at Staples Center. Toronto is 8-5-0-0 and 4-2-0-0 on the road, and will be playing back-to-back games after knocking off Anaheim last night at Honda Center, 3-1. The home team is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two clubs and Jonathan Quick is expected between the pipes for the Kings. If anyone is going to slow down the Leaf’s potent offense, he will, with a .942 SV% and a GAA of 1.89.
