Toronto has made only one mistake. It was in the very first round, when the Maple Leafs could not even throw one puck in the gate of Montreal (0:1). But after that, the team got together and had two great fights, in which first they managed to beat New Jersey with a score of 4:2, and then the same outcome ended the battle with Pittsburgh.

Los Angeles has the opposite situation, as they managed exactly to start with a victory. In the first game of the new NHL season, the Kings coped with Buffalo with a score of 3:1. But after that, the team suffered two consecutive defeats. In both games, the Kings scored one point each, so they shouldn't be discouraged. Los Angeles lost to Boston in an extremely low-scoring match in overtime (1:2), but Ottawa, on the contrary, in an incredibly effective battle (7:8).

We believe that in the upcoming battle should make a choice in favour of Toronto. The Maple Leafs were good in the last two games - two wins. We note the Maple Leafs' defence, as the last time they allowed more than two goals was eight games ago. Los Angeles continues their road trip, and may not have enough energy, even morale, after two overtime losses. We bet on the victory of the hosts.
