Ottawa may be in last place but they're outscoring opponents on the season, and last year had a winning record. Ottawa's offense is fifth in the NHL in goals scored (3.80 per game) and eighth in shooting percentage. They're working with three days of rest and won 6-2 when they last played at Toronto as a +170 underdog. Toronto has scored and allowed 42 goals. The defense is 22nd in goals given up and 21st in save percentage (.891). Toronto is working on just one day of rest and has lost four of five, dropping all four as chalk of -135, -150, -120, and -220. The Maple Leafs are 8-10 after scoring four or more goals in two consecutive games, so back the undervalued visitors. Play Ottawa.
