Like the Leafs, the Kings won their first game of the season before going through a rough patch. They bested the then-healthy Vegas Golden Knights 6-2 in their home opener before suffering through a six-game winless slump (0-5-1) while only scoring 10 goals in the process.
Since then, like Toronto, Los Angeles has gone on a bit of a tear. They’ve won their last four — compared to five straight for the Leafs — although they have won their last two in extra time (the first in a shootout against St. Louis, the second an overtime win over the Devils).
