Ottawa played its first game since March and beat the Maple Leafs 5-3 last night, but Toronto looks to bounce back after blowing early leads on Friday. The Leafs hope Jack Campbell will be an improvement in net as Frederik Andersen is off to a slow start allowing nine goals his first two games. Campbell had a 2.63 goals-against average and .915 save percentage in six games with Toronto in 2019-20. Matt Murray is expected to do a back-to-back after stopping 20 shots for Ottawa last night. The Senators are expected to improve this year, but they are 6-20 their last 26 games after scoring at least five in their previous game, and 17-41 after a win. Also, look for a lower scoring game as three of the last four meetings before Friday had gone UNDER and this is an inflated posted toal. Take the Maple Leafs and the UNDER.
