LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Coming off a rare victory, the Toronto Maple Leafs hope to build on their momentum when they open a three-game road trip at the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.
Toronto has not won back-to-back games since October 29-November 1, but is coming off a 4-2 victory against Philadelphia on Saturday.
The win - which came in new general manager Brian Burke's first game - snapped the Maple Leafs' five-game losing streak (0-3-2) and was just their third win in the team's last 12 contests.
Nik Antropov and Dominic Moore each had a goal and an assist in Saturday's win for Toronto, which visits San Jose and Phoenix later in the week.
Los Angeles has won two straight contests, including Saturday's 5-2 victory against Chicago.
Patrick O'Sullivan recorded a goal and an assist for the second straight contest and Derek Armstrong had his first tally of the season for the Kings, who scored the last four goals of the game.
Toronto has not defeated Los Angeles since an 4-3 overtime victory on November 12, 2002.
