Ottawa Senators vs Toronto Maple Leafs Moneyline Prediction

The Senators are coming off an overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils, but that result doesn’t matter much now that they’ve already secured a playoff berth.

Their final seeding is still to be determined, but in a worst-case scenario, Ottawa would earn the second Wild Card in the Eastern Conference and would face the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the 2026 NHL Playoffs.

With that in mind, the Senators could rest several players for this contest. Even so, they should still have enough quality and depth to get past the challenge of the Maple Leafs.

Toronto have been atrocious defensively all season long, but they reached a new low in Monday’s defeat to the Dallas Stars.

The Maple Leafs were leading by multiple goals twice in the game and even held a 5-3 lead in the third period, but they couldn’t get the job done and lost after allowing six goals.

That kind of defensive meltdown isn’t surprising, as the Maple Leafs enter their final encounter of the regular season as the NHL’s second-worst defence with 3.60 goals allowed per game. Only the Vancouver Canucks have conceded more on a per-game basis.

The Senators might not be at full strength, but they’ll have the benefit of facing one of the league’s weakest defences in their regular-season home finale. With a W22, L12, OT6 home record this season, they should have enough to defeat a Toronto team that went W14, L20, OT6 on the road.

Ottawa Senators vs Toronto Maple Leafs Player Prop

The Senators are expected to be without their star duo of Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stützle, as both are likely to be rested. This means Zetterlund could be in line for a big game offensively, and the winger is already ending the regular season on a strong note.

He’s scored four goals over the Senators’ last five outings, making him a strong prop bet despite his fourth-line role.

Regardless of the outcome, all signs point to a high-scoring affair. The previous three head-to-head meetings have produced at least seven goals, and given the Maple Leafs’ defensive struggles, this line could be hit once again. Toronto have allowed 296 goals this season, the worst total in the Eastern Conference.

We’re pairing the nature of a high-scoring game with two elite forwards racking up points: Drake Batherson and John Tavares.

Batherson ranks second in points among Ottawa forwards with 70, thanks to 32 goals and 38 assists, and he should play a big role on offence, with both Tkachuk and Stützle expected to be rested.

As for Tavares, he’s been carrying the Maple Leafs’ offence throughout the season, and that shouldn’t change in the regular-season finale. The veteran forward, who has recorded 71 points in 81 regular-season games, will look to boost his tally. He’s riding a solid stretch of play with six points (two goals, four assists) over his last five appearances.

Ottawa Senators Team News

There are several fitness-related doubts in the Senators’ camp ahead of this contest. Defencemen Jake Sanderson and Thomas Chabot, along with forwards Stützle and Tkachuk, could sit out for rest since the team have already made the playoffs.

Tyler Kleven is out with an upper-body injury but could return for the playoffs, while Nick Jensen (knee) won’t return until late April in a best-case scenario.

Toronto Maple Leafs Team News

The Maple Leafs will play their final game of the 2025-26 regular season without one of their best players, as Auston Matthews has already been ruled out with a severe knee injury he sustained last month.

The full list of injured players includes goaltender Anthony Stolarz (lower body), defencemen Brandon Carlo (lower body) and Chris Tanev (abdomen), and forward Dakota Joshua (upper body). None will be available for this regular-season finale.
