Maple Leaf fans are about as long-suffering as Vancouver Canucks fans, actually more so.
Coming into this season there were high hopes (well aren’t there always?) the Leafs could go all the way.That would indeed be a high hope, but that doesn’t change the fact the Leafs are underperforming.
The Kings should be contenders, and they still are, but nearly to the standard they could be playing at. So it could be argued these two teams have a lot in common in at least one regard.

Los Angeles Kings
The Kings Drew Doughty has been out of form this season, although he is second on the roster for total points (10) which probably speaks more to the Kings overall underperformance.
Team captain, Anze Kopitar, leads the team with 13 points, which is respectable, but when he, along with Doughty are responsible for creating the bulk of the Kings scoring chances, then you know both need to step it up.
The Kings are also suffering in net with Jonathan Quick (.858 4.55 GAA) no longer the reliable back stop he was, and back-up Jack Campbell (.881 3.14 GAA) not ready for the number one slot.
Hockey teams are built from the goalie out, and question marks in net, mean a big question mark for a team’s ability to get the win.

Toronto Maple Leafs
It’s not sure if team captain John Tavares will be in the line-up Tuesday. he has missed seven games due to a broken finger, and Leafs goal production has suffered because of it.
They’ve inserted journeyman player Jason Spezza into Tavares spot in the meantime, and let’s just say the results have been mixed. Although to be fair he did come through with a goal in a franchise record 11 round shoot-out with the Flyers.
Free Los Angeles Kings vs. Toronto Maple leafs NHL Prediction:
Playing at home gives the Leafs a boost, likewise the cross country trip and time difference is not going to help an already sagging Kings team.
This is not looking like the Kings night to course correct. Add in former Kings D-man Jake Muzzin ready to take on his former teammates after being traded last January, and you have to think the Leafs are going to get the win.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Leafs ML
Despite weak goaltending on the Kings side, with Tavares possibly out, or at best, not at 100 percent after a seven game lay-off, you have to like the under here.
Other than that, definitely take the Leafs as the favorite.
