### Toronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators  
**7:00PM - Canadian Corel Tire Scotiabank Palladium Centre**  
**CBC, Sportsnet, TVA Sports, NHL Network**  
**Other Guys:** [**Silver Seven Sens**](http://silversevensens.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

The Maple Leafs are 2-1 against the Senators, outscoring them 11-4 this season. Normally, playing a bottom ten team in the league would worry me, but history this season keeps me hopeful for a win like Thursday night against Washington.

**Them**

The Senators are having a good April, with a 5-3 record so far and all of their wins have seen them scoring three or more goals in each game. It should be noted that four of those wins were against Detroit and Montreal, but winning is a confidence boost so they should be competitive tonight.

**Lines**

Brady Tkachuk - Josh Norris - Connor Brown  
Alex Formenton - Tim Stützle - Drake Batherson  
Chris Tierney - Colin White - Adam Gaudette  
Parker Kelly - Dylan Gambrell - Austin Watson

Erik Brannstrom - Artem Zub  
Michael del Zotto - Travis Hamonic  
Nick Holden - Nikita Zaitsev

Anton Forsberg  
Filip Gustavsson

Injuries: Matt Murray, Shane Pinto, Thomas Chabot, Tyler Ennis, Mathieu Joseph

Former Leafs: Connor Brown is on the first line, Zaitsev is on the third pair.

**Us**

Say it with me: The Maple Leafs are great.

5-1-1 in April, beating the Lightning, taking the Panthers to over time, losinPig to the Sabres, typical stuff. Scoring about five or so goals per game this team is sowing off its offensive prowess at every opportunity. Will Auston Matthews make it to 60 goals tonight? John Tavares is only four goals from 30, and Alex Kerfoot is one point from 50\. There’s lots of personal bests on the line this season, and a good game against the Senators could move them closer to reality.

**Lines**

Michael Bunting - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner  
Ilya Mikheyev - John Tavares - Alexander Kerfoot  
William Nylander - David Kämpf - Pierre Engvall  
Kyle Clifford - Colin Blackwell - Jason Spezza

Morgan Rielly - Ilya Lyubushkin  
TJ Brodie - Justin Holl  
Mark Giordano - Timothy Liljegren

Erik Källgren  
Jack Campbell

Injuries: Rasmus Sandin, Ondřej Kaše, Petr Mrázek, Jake Muzzin
