Alex Iafallo added two assists.
Jonathan Quick made 33 saves for Los Angeles.

winning streak end.

The Kings took a 2-0 lead in the first period when two players
scored their first goals of the season.
Moore lugged the puck from the neutral zone before chipping it
past Campbell at 10:52. Campbell and Moore were part of a trade
between the teams on Feb. 5, 2020.
Athanasiou took a quick pass from Danault outside the Toronto
blue line and switched from his backhand to his forehand before
scoring with a high shot at 14:21. Athanasiou was playing his
second game of the season after being out with an undisclosed
injury.
Tavares scored his seventh goal of the season on a power play at
1:51 of the second period, shooting from the left circle after
taking Mitchell Marner's pass. Moore was off for hooking.
Danault scored at 13:56 of the second period, set up by
Athanasiou's pass. The puck trickled over the line after it
deflected off Danault's skate before he sprawled into the
crease. A video review determined that the puck was not kicked
in.
Each team had 20 shots on goal after two periods.
Auston Matthews missed the net when he broke in on the Kings'
goal at 5:49 of the third period. Quick then made a good stop on
Matthews at 8:07.

Leafs' defensive zone to score his third goal of the season at
15:30 of the third period.
Kempe scored into an empty net at 16:13, his fourth goal of the
season.
