Toronto at Ottawa

Ottawa is red hot, winning five in a row with great balance at #10 in the NHL in goals scored and #13 in goals allowed, and ninth in penalty killing. The Senators pulled to within two points of Boston for the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot by beating the Bruins 6-4 on Thursday. Ottawa won for the 13th time in 15 games! Andrew Hammond finished with 31 saves, moving to 12-0-1 with a 1.55 goals-against average since getting called up from Binghamton. Toronto hasn't played any defense all season, #26 in goals allowed, and now the team has packed it in, losing four in a row. The Maple Leafs have been outscored 18-6 in a four-game losing streak. Toronto has also been outscored 68-25 in non-shootout goals while dropping 20 of 21 on the road. The Leafs have managed one or no goals in 15 of those games and is on a 12-42 run on the road. Back the Senators.
