#TorontoMaple #Leafsvs #OttawaSenators #Game The Maple Leafs, looking to take another step toward home-court advantage in the first round of the NHL playoffs, will visit the Ottawa Senators for the first of three games with opponents all but eliminated from playoff qualifiers. As the Ottawa-NYU-Philadelphia stretch ahead of the road trip, the Leafs will play four games in six days -- including against the Chargers, Panthers and Capitals -- and weaker opponents will be in Being fully utilized before hitting the road is important when the Leafs want to make sure that first-round games 1, 2, 5 and 7 are played at Scotiabank Arena. That may sound trivial -- for some of the team's most reliable players, prioritizing rest as much as possible in the closing stages may not be worth it -- but it's worth noting that this season's performance at the Maple Leafs and Scotiabank Arena has The record is 27-8. The organization hasn't won a Game 7 on the road since Nikolai Borschevsky won an overtime title in Detroit in 1993. For the Senators, it's a game they'll stand up to knowing the competition and the fact that there will be an invasion of Maple Leafs fans tonight to take over the rink at the Canadian Tire Centre. For them, it will be the closest thing to a spring playoff vibe this season. Ottawa will not lose its voracious stallion on the blue line, Thomas Chabot will likely be out for the rest of the season with a hand injury that makes their blue line look thin, Vulnerable to deep offense from the Maple Leafs. So far, however, the Senators are 5-3-0 in April, including a 3-2 win over Boston on Thursday. Predicted starter Anton Forsberg gave them a chance in most of his starts and kept his game really solid in the second half of the season with a .923 save percentage and a 2022 win record. On the other end of the rink, Eric Calgren will struggle to recover after a loss to Buffalo, and it was never his fault, but saw four of his 27 shots go wide. The organization gave Campbell peace of mind ahead of the playoffs and could turn to Calgren again on Tuesday in Philadelphia. Another confirmed roster change for the Maple Leafs is Justin Hall, who rejoins the lineup with TJ Brody, with Hall playing his best hockey of the season with the duo. Jake Muzzin will miss this weekend with an injury unrelated to concussion. match day
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Washington Capitals - Game 74 Preview, Likely Lineups & TV Info
#TorontoMaple #Leafsvs #WashingtonCapitals #Game After a poor performance against the Sabres on Tuesday, the Maple Leafs will get back on track tonight when they host the Washington Capitals at Scotiabank Arena. The Toronto Maple Leafs' duality never ceases to amaze as they continue to outlast most high-end opponents in hockey in a 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres after a poor season. From the outset, the Leafs lacked the intensity needed to compete with teams that fell far short of the talent level on paper, perpetuating their habit of downplaying underdog rivals. In the Atlantic Division, Toronto leads the playoffs with a .667 winning percentage. However, they also have the worst winning percentage of a non-playoff team in the group behind all opponents. Maybe that's just what Toronto needs tonight against Washington against a team that currently has a place in the playoffs -- the 2018 Stanley Cup champions. The Capitals are on an impressive four-game winning streak, beating Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and Boston before beating Philadelphia 9-2 on Tuesday. The Capitals are also looking to extend a five-game winning streak that dates back to mid-March. A win in Toronto would make it a six-win streak, which would be their longest streak of the season and surpass a separate five-game streak from Jan. 28 to Feb. 17. Washington has remained 12-4-2 since the start of the new year. Washington currently leads the Islanders by 15 points at the last wild-card spot in the East. They are also just three points behind the third-place Penguins in the Mets Division in two games. As with every other playoff team in the East, playoff eligibility is all but certain. Less certain is where they will end up in the standings and where their opponents will be in the first round. That certainly applies to the Maple Leafs, as their second-place spot in the Atlantic isn't guaranteed. Fortunately, they still have a four-point lead over Tampa Bay and a five-point lead over Boston, as all three teams lost Tuesday's regular season. All three have played all 73 games so far, with home ice losing to Toronto in the first round at this point. Sheldon Keefe is back despite throwing all his lines in a blender on Tuesday
