Leafs Go 7-2 After Defeating Kings

Man!  I was right about last night.

I knew that last night's game, the Los Angeles Kings verses the Toronto Maple Leafs, was going to be decided by a goal.

Yes.  The Leafs are now 7-2 on the season after defeating the 6-0-1 Kings 3-2 last night.

Both goalies were fantastic in net last night.

Toronto's Frederik Andersen stopped 36 shots.

L.A.'s Jonathan Quick was just as good in net, despite the loss.  He stopped 30 shots.

Matt Martin opened the scoring for the Leafs at 5:46 of the first period.

There was no scoring until 14:44 of the second period when Tyler Bozak made it 2-0.

Almost a minute later, Adrian Kempe closed the gap to 2-1.

Patrick Marleau made it 3-1 Leafs at 2:54 of the third period.

Trevor Lewis scored at 12:19 of the (third) period to make it a 3-2 game.

Toronto, however, managed to hang on and win.

Lewis finished the game with two points.

Toronto's Mitch Marner had two assists in last night's game.

Toronto faces the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.
