Ottawa Senators at Toronto Maple Leafs Preview & Picks

Toronto are tipped to bounce back from the Game 4 loss and clinch the series.

The Maple Leafs are in terrific form despite that loss, and they are back on the home ice where they have done their best work in recent weeks.

  • Toronto Maple Leafs are 12-2 in their last 14 games
  • Toronto Maple Leafs are 9-1 in their previous 10 home games
  • Ottawa Senators are 2-6 in their previous 8 road games
  • The Under has cashed in 10 of Toronto’s last 14 games

Head To Head

  • Ottawa Senators lead the all-time series 85-74-16
  • Ottawa Senators won 4-3 in overtime when the two teams last met on April 26

Ottawa Senators Form

Ottawa head back out on the road looking to build on a first win of the series that staved off elimination.

The Senators entered the playoffs having won the previous five meetings with Toronto, but found themselves on the brink of elimination after three consecutive defeats.

They were beaten 6-2 in regulation and 3-2 in overtime on the road, and then returned home for a 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

That left Ottawa in a ‘must-win’ situation and they got the job done on Saturday as they downed Toronto 4-3 in overtime, but they must now win three more games to advance.

The Senators claimed their place in the playoffs by compiling a 45-30-7 record to finish fourth in the Atlantic Division standings.

Toronto Maple Leafs Form

Toronto return home on the back of a first defeat of the series, but in a commanding position with only one more win needed to wrap up this series.

The Maple Leafs entered the series having lost five straight meetings with the Senators, but they turned that around over the first three games.

They opened the series with back-to-back home games and beat Ottawa 6-2 in regulation and 3-2 in overtime, before heading out on the road for another 3-2 overtime success.

That gave Toronto the chance to wrap up the series over the weekend, but they failed to take the opportunity as they lost 4-3 in overtime.

The Maple Leafs earned their place in the postseason by compiling a 52-26-4 regular-season record to finish atop the Atlantic Division standings.

Verdict

Toronto tripped up over the weekend, but we are not expecting repeat scenes on Tuesday.

The Maple Leafs are back home where they have won nine of the last 10, and we are backing them to make it 10 wins in 11 games here.
