The Senators looked tired last night, and a quick turnaround on the road won’t help matters.
Record: 26-21
Exact scored predicted: 1

Tempted to predict they’ll bounce back, but Loafers need this one worse than Sens do. Expect fierce battle.
Record: 31-16

Even though the Senators won in Montreal on Saturday, they’ve looked out of sorts for the past two games. I hate picking the Leafs to win but I’m uncomfortable picking the Sens based on their last two bodies of work.
Record: 31-15

Sens saved their legs last night. Can’t play the “tired” excuse after a dud against the Jets. This team has bounced back well after poor performances.

It’s going to be hard after playing last night, but I have a feeling Paul MacLean isn’t going to let the Sens off easy after their performance against the Jets. He’ll be pushing them, and they’ll respond.

Honestly, I was far more worried about them coming out flat against the Laffs than the Jets so this changes things. Got to be looking for the bounce back game now.

The Sens will have a lot of built-up frustration after getting shutout by the Jets and will be hungry for offense. The Leafs always get goals against Ottawa so this should be a bit of a barnburner compared to the molasses on ice we all witnessed Monday night.

It should be a easy win for the sens if lupul and kessel keep there drought going! Go SENS
Both teams struggling to score lately, even with poor defence. 3-2 Sens, shootout.
Jackhammer, Russel, and I all get some exact score predictions! Nice.
