Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Ottawa Senators Prediction
I’m on the Senators here. I get that it’s a rivalry game to close out the year so even if you’re out of the playoffs, you’d like to think that guys still have some pride to go out and compete. However, Toronto’s better off playing for draft positioning right now and it looked like they realized it late in that Dallas game where they just completely folded late. I think Ottawa builds some momentum going into the playoffs with a win so give me the Senators.
