Los Angeles is favored on the road and for good reason, as the Maple Leafs are decimated with key injuries, including Auston Matthews' lower-body injury that he suffered on Tuesday. Toronto is also thin at the goaltender position as Anthony Stolarz is day-to-day after being hit in the back in the loss to the Bruins. Joseph Woll has been out with a personal issue. Meanwhile, the Kings are healthy, and they have won two in a row after their convincing 5-1 victory over Montreal. Joel Edmundson and Quinton Byfield each had a goal and an assist to back Darcy Kuemper, who had 21 saves. The Kings have won their past four road games, and they are 14-4 against teams with losing records dating to last season. They are 5-0 OVER following a win, and Toronto has gone OVER four straight with one day of rest. Dennis Hildeby will start for the Maple Leafs, and he is 0-2-0 with a 3.72 goals-against average. Take the Kings on the puck line and the OVER.
