The oddsmakers have gave a slight edge to the Toronto Maple Leafs in this game due to the fact they are playing at home.
Ottawa Senators +100
Toronto Maple Leafs -120
This game is really anyone’s guess, but here is why I think the Ottawa Senators will come out on top. Ottawa has been having trouble scoring goals in the preseason and in their first regular season game against the New York Rangers. On the other hand, the Maple Leafs have had trouble keeping the puck out of their own net with 4 goals against in two regular season games. Basically, this game comes down to who can fix their issue. The way I see it, the Toronto Maple Leafs are the cure for any offensively challenged team. With neither Toskala or Gustavsson playing well against the Capitals the Leafs have decided to start Gustavsson against the Sens. There is a lot of pressure on this Swede playing in front of the harsh Maple Leaf crowd and we’ll have to see if his nerves get the best of him. As for the Sens, they just have too much scoring power to continue to get shut down.
I bet the Ottawa Senators at EV.
