The Kings finished with a 1-1-0 record in the season series against the Maple Leafs. They won their fourth consecutive home game against the Maple Leafs, tying their franchise-best winning streak set from February 20, 1988 to December 1, 1990 (4-0-0).

-With the win, Los Angeles tied a franchise record for the most wins (10) through the first 13 games (third time, also 1980-81 and 2010-11).
