Coming off a defensive collapse in which they gave up eight goals in an overtime loss in Ottawa, the Kings play back-to-back games in Toronto and Montreal
Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper, left, makes a save as teammate Mikey Anderson and Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk look on during the first period Monday, Oct. 14, 2024, in Ottawa, Ontario. The Kings will wrap up the Eastern portion of their season-long road trip with their first back-to-back set of 2024-25, which will take them to Toronto to face the Maple Leafs on Wednesday before arriving in Montreal to confront the Canadiens on Thursday.
Special teams also factored heavily into that seesaw affair, and that has started to become an early-season theme for the Kings. They’ve drawn the most penalties per game of any team, nearly seven per contest, but also taken the second-most per game. Their season-opening streak of 11 consecutive penalty kills was halted as they surrendered four power-play goals in Ottawa to overshadow the three that they scored.
The Leafs have produced enough in two straight 4-2 victories after stumbling, 1-0, against Montreal in their opener. After five seasons as Toronto’s captain, John Tavares passed the “C” onto Auston Matthews over the summer. The Canadiens fell to those same Penguins in their most recent outing to drop to 2-2-0 in this fledgling campaign. Cole Caufield’s four goals placed him in a tie for second place league-wide entering Tuesday’s action.Anze Kopitar’s 3rd-period hat trick propels Kings past Sabres in season opener
