Kings vs Maple Leafs

After beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 at Crypto.com Arena in October, the Los Angeles Kings will look to sweep the season series at Scotiabank.

Kings over 2.5 goals (-112): Los Angeles scored four goals the last time these teams met, and even if that might be a bridge too far, this is a surprisingly competent offensive squad. Over 6 goals (-121): If there’s going to be a barrage of shots in this game, it stands to reason that a few will find the twine. That creates a bit of a puzzle, but Toronto’s offence has woken up lately, averaging 3.7 goals in its last six games. Although both the Maple Leafs and Kings have had success suppressing shots this year, this line is extremely low. Over their last 14 games, that number has shot up to 31.0. The Kings have hit the over in 17 of their 28 games, but unders have hit in 18 of 26 Maple Leafs games.

The Los Angeles Kings (14-10-4) and Toronto Maple Leafs (16-5-6) meet Thursday at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+).

Thursday hockey has finally arrived! The Los Angeles Kings will head north of the border to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs. It is time to take a look at ...

Other than Marner and his history-making play, it is hard to argue that the Leaf’s best option in covering the spread tonight will come from the dynamic play in Toronto’s net. With that being said, if the Kings can out-physical the Leafs for the puck, they should be able to win and cover rather handily. To begin, the Kings’ best chance at covering the spread tonight will come in the form of playing a fast brand of hockey that leaves the Maple Leafs too stunned to even speak. At home versus Ottawa, the Kings were outhit 31-16 and were still able to find a way to take care of business. The Los Angeles Kings will head north of the border to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs. With the hope that their effective offensive ways will carry over to tonight’s matchup, the Kings have also experienced success as the visiting team with a decent 7-5-2 record.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be looking to extend their current stretch without a regulation loss to 13 games when they return home to face the struggling ...

[Matt Murray](https://news.sportsinteraction.com/nhl/player/matt-murray-4857) has been silencing the doubters with his play in the Leafs net. However, on Thursday he is expected to give way to [Ilya Samsonov](https://news.sportsinteraction.com/nhl/player/ilya-samsonov-6383), who has allowed just four total goals during a three-game win streak but has yet to see action this month. [John Tavares](https://news.sportsinteraction.com/nhl/player/john-tavares-3388)’ game-opening goal, and with that assist he has now recorded at least a point in a franchise-record 20 consecutive games. Six of Arvidsson’s seven recent points have come on the power play, which has produced 11 goals in seven games, but a shaky Kings penalty kill has allowed seven goals over the past five games. The Kings opened their current road trip with a dominant performance in Ottawa on Tuesday, storming out of the gate to a 4-1 first-period lead on their way to a 5-2 win over the Senators. The Maple Leafs return home after tallying a 4-0 win in Dallas on Tuesday night, and have now picked up at least a point in 22 of their 27 games so far this season.

The Kings have allowed an average of 3.5 goals per game over their last 10 contests. Those teams have a combined record of 25-43-10.
