Senators vs Maple Leafs Prediction 

Ottawa comes into this matchup playing some of their best hockey of the season, but they will be on the road for this game. The Senators are 15-16-3 on the road this year, while the Maple Leafs are 20-12-1 at home. Toronto is second in the Atlantic standings, but they are not playing very well right now, as they have lost four of their last five games. The Maple Leafs are the better team in this matchup, but I can’t trust them with how they are currently playing. Ottawa is getting some great goaltending from Ullmark and they are finding ways to win, even when they are outplayed. Take the Sens here.
