Maple Leafs vs. Senators
For the second game in a row, the Senators staged a late comeback to send the game to overtime, but for the second time, the Maple Leafs pulled off the win. The surface numbers all support Toronto, but if you want to dive deeper, the Senators look like the better team. They have led all three games in Corsi and Fenwick rate, which means they are getting more shot opportunities, but they're not getting quality shots and have the third-fewest high danger shots in the playoffs (6).
Credit has to go to Toronto goalie Anthony Stolz, who has been phenomenal in this series, with a .926 save percentage and 1.95 goals allowed per game. The Senators have lost two heartbreakers, and when they've presented their best, it hasn't been good enough. This is an excellent chance for the Leafs to end this series early and get rested for Round 2.
Pick: Maple Leafs Moneyline (-108)
