Ottawa at Toronto

The pressure is on Toronto to win the first two games at home, as well as the series. Ottawa is a tough matchup for them, a stout defensive team behind goalie Linus Ullmark. Ottawa ranks 13th in goals given up (2.83 per game) and seventh in save percentage (.907). The offense is good at drawing penalties, and Toronto is 17th in penalty killing. The Maple Leafs have some defensive injuries to be concerned about, with Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Jake McCabe not 100%. Ottawa has won five in a row against Toronto by an 18-8 count. Play Ottawa.
