Maple Leafs End Kings' 15-Game Home Point Streak with 3-1 Victory

Toronto's win propels them to first place in the Atlantic Division, highlighted by standout performances from John Tavares and Auston Matthews.

John Tavares scored twice, including a power-play game-winner and an empty-net goal, extending his scoring streak to five games with eight goals in that span.
Auston Matthews contributed a shorthanded goal and an assist, with his pivotal third-period goal upheld after a Kings' challenge for a high stick was deemed inconclusive.
The Kings' franchise-record 15-game home point streak ended with their first regulation home loss since January 20, 2025.
Anthony Stolarz made 36 saves for Toronto, while Darcy Kuemper stopped 23 shots for Los Angeles in a game defined by special teams and goaltending excellence.
The Maple Leafs now lead the Atlantic Division by one point over Florida and Tampa Bay, intensifying the race for playoff seeding.
