Tonight at 7 p.m. ET, the Toronto Maple Leafs (7-5-2, 16 points) and Ottawa Senators (7-3-3, 17 points) face-off live from the Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa in the first of five meetings this season. The game can be live streamed here. Toronto fans can hear all of the action on TSN 1050 while Ottawa fans can do the same on Star 96.6.
Toronto has lost two of its last three but is coming off of a win Saturday night while Ottawa has won two out of its last three games to open up a four-match home stand. This game was originally set for Oct. 22, but was canceled due to a shooting in Canada's capital city that day. The Maple Leafs took three of four from the Senators last season.
The Maple Leafs defeated the New York Rangers 5-4 at home Saturday night after Leo Komarov notched his first goal of the season in what proved to be the game-winner.
Phil Kessel leads Toronto with 19 points off of eight goals and 11 assists while Tyler Bozak is second on the team with 12 points off of five tallies and seven helpers and James van Riemsdyk is third with 10 points by way of lighting the lamp five times and adding five assists.
The Senators have yet to lose in regulation at home, but they fell to the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 in overtime Saturday night.
Ottawa has been paced by Clarke MacArthur (seven goals, three assists) and Erik Karlsson (four tallies, six helpers), who each have 10 points thus far this season.
With both teams playing last night, it is likely that their backups will be between the pipes tonight.
James Reimer will likely man the crease for Toronto and he is off to a 3-2-0 start with a 2.58 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage. Robin Lehner is the likely starter for Ottawa and he has gone 3-1-1 up to this point with a 2.54 GAA and a .927 save percentage.
The Maple Leafs look for their second win in a row while the Senators try to close out their home stand with a victory when the puck drops tonight live from the Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa.
