Toronto at Columbus

Toronto coach Peter Horachek decided before a March 28 home game with Ottawa to treat the final seven games as a best-of-seven series. His club has taken three of the first five, including Sunday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Senators. Columbus has a losing record at home and rank #17 in goals scored and #25 in goals allowed. The Blue Jackets are 5-11 when playing on one day of rest. Toronto has outscored Columbus 9-3 in winning the first two meetings this season. Its top line of Phil Kessel, James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak has totaled 10 points in those contests. The road team is 7-2 when these teams clash and the Maple Leafs are 4-1 in the last five meetings in Columbus. Take Toronto.
