Ottawa Senators vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction

The Senators have won six of the last eight games against the Maple Leafs so a bounce back effort here wouldn’t be shocking. However, as I mentioned in the game 1 write-up, the Maple Leafs are under a lot of pressure to make a playoff run after constant disappointments. Game 1 was a nice step in the right direction and the Leafs are playing great hockey overall, winning six straight games and lighting it up offensively. It’s also important to note that the Senators have seen 20 of their 31 losses come on the road. I just believe the Maple Leafs are due and tired of coming up short this time of year. At home, I’m riding with the Maple Leafs. Of course, I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
