The Kings are a tough team to play that keeps the goal totals low at both ends of the rink. The Leafs need some game breaking offence and a good performance in net tonight.
Pontus Holmberg is supposed to draw in per Craig Berube, the forward coming out is yet to be determined. Otherwise, the lines will likely be unchanged. source
Projected Lineup:
Matthew Knies — Auston Matthews — Mitch Marner
Bobby McMann — John Tavares — William Nylander
Pontus Holmberg — Max Domi — Nicholas Robertson
Scott Laughton — David Kampf — Steven Lorentz

Status report: Neither team will hold a morning skate. … Holmberg will play after being a healthy scratch for the past two games; Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube did not say who would come out of the lineup. … Stolarz could start in goal, Berube said Friday.
Kings home record: 26-3-4
Scary.
Looks like they're icing a bunch of kids. WE GOT THIS.
Damn - looks like the kids aren't in the lineup. Or maybe they are hiding behind the bench.
Classic bait and switch from these bums!
