Kings fall to Maple Leafs at home, registering their third consecutive loss

Martin Jones made 31 saves for his 30th career shutout, William Nylander scored two goals and the Toronto Maple Leafs snapped their three-game losing streak with a 3-0 victory over the Kings on Tuesday night. Calle Jarnkrok also scored and Tyler Bertuzzi had two assists for the Maple Leafs, who began their three-game California road trip with a strong defensive effort in front of Jones, their unlikely first-choice goalie. The Kings thought they had muscled one past Jones with 13:59 to play, but officials immediately ruled Quinton Byfield had pushed Jones’ left pad into the net along with the puck. Instead, Treliving said the demotion will allow Samsonov to have “a physical and a mental reset.” Kings Kings’ comeback falls short against Golden Knights in rare road loss Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, but the Kings fell on the road in regulation for only the second time this season in a 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
