The Toronto Maple Leafs close out their Western road trip with a matchup against the Los Angeles Kings, and there are plenty of storylines heading into this one. With the fallout from the firing of former GM Brad Treliving still fresh and the team navigating the final stretch of the season, all eyes are now on the next wave of Leafs players and what the organization’s future could look like.
In this preview, we break down the projected Toronto lineup, including the continued rise of Easton Cowan alongside John Tavares and William Nylander on the top line. We also look at how players like Matthew Knies, Max Domi, and Nick Robertson fit into the mix as the Leafs continue evaluating their roster down the stretch.
On the blue line, questions remain about the defensive pairings featuring Morgan Rielly and Phil Myers, while Joseph Woll is expected to get the start in goal against Anton Forsberg and the Los Angeles Kings.
Plus, we dive into the betting angles for the game with our best bets of the night, including a Scott Laughton revenge game storyline and another anytime goal pick for Easton Cowan.
From lineup breakdowns to betting insight, we’ve got everything you need before puck drop.
