This is a tough spot for the rebuilding Ottawa Senators. Ottawa surrendered a league-worst 301 goals last season, on a 20-48 run. They are 18-38 when playing on three or more days rest, plus 18-44 as an underdog. Talented young Toronto has racked up at least 100 points in the past two seasons. John Tavares and star forward Auston Matthews lead the high-powered Maple Leafs attack that finished fourth in goals scored last season. They will have no trouble in the opener against an Ottawa team that is 19-58 as a road dog. Play Toronto.
