Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto’s projected lineup for game against the LA Kings

The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to get back in the win column when they collide with the LA Sharks on Saturday. In their most recent outing, the team dropped a narrow shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks, the worst team in the NHL, dropping their record to 3-2 over their last five, and 5-4-1 over their last ten.

On the other hand, LA is heading into the game after being shut out by the Colorado Avalanche earlier in the week, which snapped the team's four-game win streak.

While it appears as though both teams are destined to clinch a playoff spot thanks to their standings in their respective division, both sides are in tight races to decide the top three seeds in the Atlantic and the Pacific.
