Ottawa's playoff inexperience showed as it allowed three power-play goals while losing 6-2 in Game 1. The Senators will be better prepared with a game under their belts and they actually have won five of the past six meetings with Toronto. It wasn't all Linus Ullmark's fault on Sunday and he is 25-14-3 with a 2.72 goals-against average and four shutouts for the Senators. Ottawa has won five of the past six meetings on the road against the Maple Leafs, who were outshot 33-24. Toronto is in the usual letdown situation after a big Game 1 victory and Ottawa will be focused in desperation mode. We're getting good line value as the road underdog. Grab the Senators.
