The Leafs got their California road trip started the right way with a victory over the Los Angeles Kings. And not just any victory, a 5-1 defeat.
John Tavares scored, Nazem Kadri scored, Morgan Reilly scored. Everyone scored! But San Jose will be a different beast. Mostly because of the fact that the Kings are in the #LoseForHughes race while the Sharks...aren’t.
There should be incentive to push for this one though. It’s a rare feat to go through California without a loss if your name team name starts with a T.
