2018-19 Regular Season Game 6 LA Kings Vs Toronto Maple Leafs

Goid evening Kings fans! The Kings are playing those final game of the Canadian road trip tonight as they head to Toronto, Ontario to take on the Maple Leafs. The King's have seemed to get off to a rocky start this season as the team has been bit by the injury bug. As the team is without top forward Dustin Brown and goalie Jonathan Quick. The Kings head into Toronto to face a tough Maple Leafs team who have been on fire to start the season. Leafs forward number 34 Auston Matthews is the second player in team history to score a goal in each one of the teams first six games. Matthews leads the NHL in goals. The Kings need to rebound after a disappointing loss, an embarrassing loss if you will as the team lost 5-1 to the Ottawa Senators two days before. Forward Jaret Anderson-Dolan has been playing extremely well with the Kings so far in his rookie season.
