Ottawa is home after playing at the New York Rangers last night in a tough 3-2 loss. Their last three losses have been by one goal each time, alongside a pair of wins. They face a Toronto team in turmoil, losing 13 of 16 games, a stretch that cost Randy Carlyle his job earlier this month. They have lost six of seven while being outscored 16-2 during a five-game slide. Issues were everywhere Monday when they fell 4-1 to Carolina after giving up the first three goals - two in the first period. Toronto is #25 in the NHL in goals allowed. The Maple Leafs are 16-40 on the road and 16-35 against a team with a losing record. Play Ottawa.
