Los Angeles Kings vs Toronto Maple Leafs Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Los Angeles Kings
This is a battle between two teams that have struggled to find consistent form in recent weeks. While neither side stands out as a clear favourite, the Kings may have the edge simply because they’re playing at home against opponents who have faced their share of difficulties on the road.
Los Angeles hold a 3-3-4 record over their last 10 games, and while the Maple Leafs have gone 4-4-2 during that stretch, they’ve lost two of their last three.
The Kings are coming off a 5-4 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators and have gone 1-1-1 during their recent road trip, which included a win over the St. Louis Blues and a defeat to the Utah Mammoth.

Los Angeles sit 10th in the Western Conference standings but are tied in points with the San Jose Sharks, who are in eighth place, making this a crucial game for the Kings.
The same can’t be said about the Maple Leafs, as they’ve gone 1-2-0 in their current road trip in the Western Conference. They only defeated the Anaheim Ducks after a shootout and are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Sharks. In addition to potential fatigue, they have little to play for, as they sit 14th in the Eastern Conference standings. It’s a matter of time before they get eliminated from the playoffs.

Even though neither team have looked dominant in recent weeks, the Kings hold advantages in both motivation and home ice. That should be enough to see them get past the third-worst defence in the NHL this season, which has allowed 3.47 goals per game.
Los Angeles Kings vs Toronto Maple Leafs Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Adrian Kempe over 0.5 points
If the Kings are to get the two points to keep their playoff chances alive, Kempe will need to be at his best.
The 29-year-old winger has been on a tear lately and has racked up four goals in his last three appearances, including a two-goal performance in Thursday’s 5-4 loss to the Predators.
Kempe has scored 10 goals across 18 appearances since the Olympic break, averaging over one point per game (19 in 18 games). Kempe also ranks second on the team in points with 65 (30 goals, 35 assists) in 74 outings, trailing Artemi Panarin with 77.
Los Angeles Kings vs Toronto Maple Leafs Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 5.5 goals + John Tavares over 0.5 points + Kings -1.5
Our three-leg parlay starts with the possibility of a high-scoring matchup. The previous head-to-head meeting between these two teams produced seven goals, and neither side has stood out at either end of the ice.
For what it’s worth, five of Toronto’s last seven games have featured at least six goals, while five of the last seven involving Los Angeles have had at least five.
Tavares should also find a way to get on the scoresheet.

The veteran centre has been tasked with a bigger role on offence since Auston Matthews (knee) went down, and he’s delivered. He scored a goal in the 4-1 loss to the Sharks and has recorded six goals and four assists over his last seven appearances.
Lastly, we expect the Maple Leafs to fail to cover the +1.5 puck line. Their recent road form suggests this matchup may not be particularly close. In addition to playing in a completely different time zone, Toronto have also failed to cover the +1.5 puck line in each of their last four defeats.

The Kings are close to full strength, with only two absences: Andrei Kuzmenko (knee) and Kevin Fiala (lower leg). Kuzmenko is out for the rest of the season but has an outside shot at returning for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Fiala, meanwhile, won’t return until the 2026-27 campaign.
Toronto Maple Leafs Team News
The Maple Leafs are without Auston Matthews due to a season-ending knee injury, and Chris Tanev is also out for the remainder of the campaign. They’ll wait on the fitness of Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who’s listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
