Tyler Ennis leads Ottawa with one goal, Nick Holden has one assist and Drake Batherson has four shots on goal.

The Senators are 20-60 in their last 80 road games and 5-1 in their last 6 overall. The Maple Leafs are 7-1 in their last 8 Saturday games and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The over is 4-1 in Senators last 5 overall. The under is 4-0 in Maple Leafs last 4 overall. The Senators are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings in Toronto.

The Ottawa Senators already beat the Maple Leafs this season, but they’re on the end of a back-to-back for this one, and they’ve had little success in Toronto over the last few years. The home team has also won six of the last seven meetings between the Senators and Maple Leafs. It’s also only a matter of time before the Maple Leafs gets to cooking. I’ll side with the home team and the PL for max betting value.
