Given we’re all too tired to write or read much, here is your abbreviated late-night game preview:
- Jake Muzzin will play in LA as a Maple Leaf for the first time since the trade to Toronto in January of 2019 — two-and-a-half years later. He missed out on the March 2020 meeting at the Staples Center due to injury. Fittingly, defenseman Sean Durzi, acquired by LA from the Leafs in the Muzzin trade just six months after he was drafted by Toronto in the second round of the 2018 draft, is expected to make his NHL debut on the Kings’ blue line.
