Ottawa Senators Form
Ottawa earned their place in the playoffs by putting together a 45-30-7 record during the regular season to finish fourth in the Atlantic Division.
The Senators enter the postseason on a solid run of form too, having won six of their previous eight games.
They began this good run with a three-game win streak that saw them beat Tampa Bay 2-1, Florida 3-0 and Columbus 4-0 at home.
Ottawa then rebounded from the 5-2 defeat in Columbus with a 5-2 victory over Montreal, and backed it up by beating Philadelphia 4-3 in overtime.
The Senators lost their penultimate game to Chicago, 4-3 in overtime, only to rebound in their regular season finale by beating Carolina 7-5.
Toronto Maple Leafs Form
Toronto secured their trip to the postseason by compiling a 52-26-4 regular-season record to finish atop the Atlantic Division.
The Maple Leafs come into the playoffs in great form too, having won nine of their previous 10 games.
They ended March with back-to-back wins, winning 3-1 in Los Angeles and 3-2 at Anaheim, and began April with two more, beating Florida 3-2 and Columbus 5-0.
Toronto’s winning run was ended by a 3-1 loss at Florida, but they responded immediately with a 4-3 overtime victory at Tampa Bay to spark a five-game tear.
The Maple Leafs then beat Montreal 1-0 in overtime, before downing Carolina 4-1, Buffalo 4-0 and Detroit 4-3 in overtime.
Verdict
Toronto led the way in the Atlantic Division, but we expect Ottawa to spring at least one upset in this series.
After all, the Maple Leafs have suffered a string of disappointing playoff exits in recent years, and the Senators completed a sweep of the hosts in the regular season.
