In the second game of back-to-back sets, the Kings are 0-6-1 this season, but they have outscored the Maple Leafs, 9-3, in two games this season. In October, Ray Ferraro scored two goals in a 5-2 win at Toronto, and Eddie Olczyk and Kevin Stevens each had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win at the Forum two weeks later.

The Maple Leafs’ biggest problem has been their defense, which has given up a Western Conference-high 159 goals in 44 games.
