Ottawa Senators host Toronto Maple Leafs in an intriguing Canadian derby with the home side looking to rise up from the bottom of the table and the visitors vying to mount pressure on Detroit and Florida.
Bottom-placed Ottawa Senators have had a shambolic campaign thus far with just 10 wins in their 20 games. The 10 losses have hampered their progress considerably as they aim to rise off the foot of the table. Despite scoring 3.45 goals per game and conceding 3.25 goals the home side have failed to translate these statistics into wins dumping them in this position.
Toronto Maple Leafs are currently fourth in the Atlantic Division having scored 3.27 goals per game this season and having conceded 3.32 goals per game. Having lost three games in their previous five encounters, the Maple Leafs will be vying to get back on track with a victory against an underwhelming opposition.
