Only seven games remain on the regular season schedule this spring for new interim head coach DJ Smith and the Los Angeles Kings (30-26-19) this month in early April. In the middle of the homestand this weekend on Saturday (April 4) in the afternoon against the Toronto Maple Leafs (32-31-13), Smith and the Kings' coaching staff need two points in the standings in the West this regular season down the stretch.
The Kings didn't have a morning skate today since the game is in the afternoon on Saturday this weekend. But the Kings and Smith and the coaching staff need to have a better start on the ice and on the scoreboard in the opening frame in the first period today vs. Toronto on home ice early in the game.
At the start of this weekend on Saturday, the Kings and Smith were tied in the standings in the West this regular season with the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks, and the Seattle Kraken aren't too far behind the teams in the division standings. Let's see if the Kings can build off of the momentum on home ice this regular season down the stretch in the West of getting three points in this past couple of games at Crypto.com Arena this past week.
Here's a look at the TV/streaming information, start time, and radio broadcast information for the matchup between the Kings and Maple Leafs in a Saturday afternoon game on home ice at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA, on April 4.
