Keys to Game 2
Toronto’s Offensive Response: The Maple Leafs need to reignite their offense after being limited to two goals in Game 1. Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner will be crucial in generating scoring opportunities.
Ottawa’s Defensive Strategy: The Senators will aim to maintain their defensive discipline that has frustrated Toronto’s top scorers. Continued strong goaltending from Ullmark will be vital.
Senators vs. Maple Leafs Game 2 Betting Prediction
I backed the Senators in Game 1 and they crapped themselves. I’m going back to the well, though. That was the first time Toronto defeated Ottawa in six tries. They’re also 6-3-1 in their last 10 games entering play tonight. I do believe they’ll steal one game.
