Secure in his position and having experienced his first win with Toronto, Peter Horachek will try to lead the Maple Leafs to more victories during another road-heavy stretch. That will begin with a visit to the slumping Los Angeles Kings, who are expected to play without two of their top goal scorers in Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli on Monday night. Jonathan Bernier gets the nod in net for the Leafs and the Kings will counter with Martin Jones. Toronto president Brendan Shanahan said Friday that Horachek will remain interim coach for the rest of the season. The Maple Leafs (22-17-3) followed with a 5-2 home victory over Columbus that night in his second game since taking over for the fired Randy Carlyle. James van Riemsdyk concluded his teams four-goal outburst in the opening period, finishing with two goals and an assist. The Maple Leafs gave up 20 shots, their second-lowest total of the season, and outshot the Blue Jackets 17-8 in the first 20 minutes. Im going to have to push them to do it again. Im going to have to continue to prod and push, Horachek said. When you can have some success like tonight, I think the guys feel good about themselves. We need that. They have to know thats that how we want to play. Toronto plays nine of its next 11 on the road, where its dropped six of eight. That begins with a four-game trip that includes three stops in California. The Maple Leafs will try for a fourth consecutive win in Los Angeles as they look to send the Kings (19-13-10) to a season high-tying fourth straight defeat. Los Angeles has gone 0-1-2 to open a season-high seven-game homestand, and a 5-4 shootout defeat to Winnipeg on Saturday was the clubs fifth loss in six contests overall. The Kings rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to take a lead in the third period but gave up the tying goal with 5:56 left in regulation. Theyve allowed 15 non-shootout goals in their last three games. I feel like a broken record here, but everyone has to step up, myself included. We all have to take a little more ownership in our game, defenseman Alec Martinez said. If we keep on digging ourselves in a hole in the first period like weve been and giving up as many goals as weve been, its going to be pretty difficult on us. The Kings have a minus-6 goal differential in the first period of their last six games, leaving them at minus-7 in the opening 20 minutes for the season - among the worst marks in the league. Making matters worse, Pearson broke his left leg Saturday and is out indefinitely. Fellow 12-goal scorer Toffoli is also sidelined indefinitely due to a bout with mononucleosis. The Kings lost 4-3 in a shootout to Toronto on Dec. 14. They rallied from a 2-0 deficit and went ahead in the third before van Riemsdyk scored with 11:11 left. We have to play better defensively than we played them (in Toronto), Horachek said. In their building, its going to be difficult. The Maple Leafs, though, rallied for a 3-2 win in their most recent trip to Los Angeles on March 13 with van Riemsdyk assisting on the tiebreaking short-handed goal. He has three goals and three assists in seven career matchups. The Kings Marian Gaborik has 12 goals and five assists in his last 10 games against Toronto. Ales Hemsky Jersey .

The San Antonio Spurs All-Star point guard did not play in the second half or overtime of the Western Conference finals-clinching win over Oklahoma City on Saturday because of a sore left ankle. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich doesnt know what shape Parker will be in for Game 1 on Thursday in San Antonio. "I have no idea," Popovich said Saturday night. "I dont know what the deal is." Popovich said Parker sprained the ankle in Game 4 and aggravated it in Game 5. Popovich considered starting Manu Ginobili at point guard in Game 6 against the Thunder because Parker was having trouble during pregame. At halftime, Popovich made the decision to hold him out. "He came to me about eight minutes on the clock (before the second half) and said he couldnt go," Popovich said. "He couldnt cut. He was limping on it. He couldnt cut sideways or forward really." Popovich said he thought playing Parker in the second half would have hurt the team in the long term. "I didnt want him to be a hero because he was 50 per cent or less, we thought," Popovich said. "Thats probably bad for the team if you think about it. It was a tough decision to try to figure out whether to play him, and if you lose the game and it affects him for Monday night, then youre going to feel like you made an unwise choice." Parker has been plagued by injuries this year. He averaged 16.7 points and 5.7 assists while shooting 50 per cent from the field during the regular season, but he missed 22 games. He strained his left hamstring in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals aagainst Portland and did not return.dddddddddddd The Spurs won that game easily to clinch the series. Once again, his teammates bought him some rest. Had the Spurs lost Game 6, they would have faced an elimination game at home Monday against the Thunder. "We didnt know how much Tony was hurt in his ankle," forward Boris Diaw said. "But we didnt want to go to Game 7, and we didnt know if he would be ready to play if we did or if he would be 100 per cent, so we tried to get it over with tonight." Still, the Spurs have proven all season they can win without key players, posting the NBAs best record despite a series of injuries. "We have to continue to play basketball regardless of who is on the floor and our reserves did a great job - Cory (Joseph), Patty (Mills) - they stepped in and continued to run the offence and push the pace and playing good defence on their guards as well," guard Danny Green said. Joseph started the second half of Game 6 against Oklahoma City and helped engineer a 37-point third quarter. "Cory was very good," Ginobili said. "I mean, its hard to play when you dont have many opportunities to play in close games and stuff. But he did very well in Game 3 and 4 here. He always brings the juice, aggressiveness, competitiveness. He attacks the rim well. I think he made a few key plays." The Spurs said they excel without their stars because they are about a system, rather than individuals. "We have been doing what we did the whole year, which is passing the ball to each other, getting some movement, getting pace and getting into a good rhythm," Diaw said. "Always trying to set up a good shot for a teammate."
