Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators Prediction

The Senators’ offense has been awful heading into this game, and they aren’t going to magically bounce out of it here. Over the last two games they have scored a grand total of goals and they are going to really struggle to get anything here. The Maple Leafs are going to score at least three goals and that is going to be enough for them to cruise to the easy victory. Back the Maple Leafs on the puck line.
