Jonathan Quick outduels former understudy as Kings dump Leafs 5-1
The Maple Leafs’ five-game winning streak came to an end with a thud and a 5-1 loss to Los Angeles on Monday at Scotiabank Arena.
They dropped to 7-5-1 and play in Philadelphia against the Flyers on Wednesday. The victory was the fifth in a row for the resurgent Kings, who improved to 6-5-1. Moore skated hard along the wall and past both Timothy Liljegren and Rasmus Sandin before he chipped a puck over Campbell for his first goal of the year. Athanasiou then squeezed a shot from in tight beneath Campbell’s arm for a 2-0 lead, and it proved to be a hole that the Maple Leafs could not climb out of.
Funny how things work out. When Campbell was traded to Toronto, he was brought in to be Frederik Andersen’s backup. As Andersen struggled with injuries and consistency, Campbell replaced him as the Maple Leafs starter. “The guy means the world to me,” Campbell said on Sunday. “He was the ultimate teammate, and a guy to look up to. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is a legend.”
