Toronto, Ontario (My Sportsbook) - The Toronto Maple Leafs will try and put the brakes on a two-game losing streak tonight when they host the Los Angeles Kings at the Air Canada Centre. Mikael Renberg scored twice for Toronto in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Mats Sundin added a goal and an assist for the Leafs, who have lost two in a row and three of their last four. Trevor Kidd, who spelled usual starter Ed Belfour, stopped only 17 of the 23 shots he faced for Toronto. Tie Domi will be playing in his 800th career game Tuesday. Toronto, which will be meeting the Kings in the only matchup of the season between the two, will hit the road for a contest in Buffalo, before returning home for a trio of games. The Kings also enter Tuesday's tilt on a losing note. LA was upended 3-1 by the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Felix Potvin stopped 17-of-20 shots he encountered for the Kings, who have been outscored 15-8 while dropping three of their last four. Lubomir Visnovsky ruined Montreal netminder Jeff Hackett's shutout bid by scoring his fourth goal of the season with 2:14 left in the third period. The Kings are 1-2-0 so far on their season-long eight-game road trip. Toronto has won four of the last six matchups and is 5-3-1 in the last nine. The Leafs have also won four of the last six in Toronto.
