The Leafs led 3-0 after the first period thanks to two goals from Bobby McMann and then, more or less, took their foot off the gas. Stolarz kept LA at bay as Toronto padded the lead in the second. Despite a pair of Kings goals in the third, the Leafs scored the final tally and took home a cushy 6-2 win.
It was a good night for the core players — Auston Matthews finally found the scoreboard, as did William Nylander, Morgan Rielly, and John Tavares — and a slump-busting night for the power play (two for four).
