The Toronto Maple Leafs decided to get their 10:30pm game against the Los Angeles Kings out of the way early so they could cruise during bed-time. The boys immediately jumped to a multi-goal lead and carried it to a 5-1 win in LA.
The Buds power play finally woke up in this game. The top unit of Mitchell Marner, John Tavares, Nazem Kadri, Patrick Marleau and Morgan Rielly combined for three goals. Kasperi Kapanen and the second unit also looked very good during their time with the extra man, they just didn’t get a goal.
