TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired goaltender Jack Campbell and forward Kyle Clifford from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for forward Trevor Moore and draft picks.

The trade was announced following Toronto’s 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers Wednesday night.

L.A. receives Toronto’s third-round pick in 2020, which was previously acquired from Ottawa on July 1, 2019, and a conditional third-round pick in 2021. 

The Kings will retain 50 per cent of Clifford’s salary as part of the transaction.

Campbell, 28, has appeared in 57 career NHL games with Los Angeles and one game with Dallas. The Port Huron, Mich., native has compiled a career record of 20-25-5 with a 2.58 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.
