Ottawa Senators
Moneyline Pick - Toronto Maple Leafs (-105): B+

The Toronto Maple Leafs head to Ottawa looking to take game 4 and sweep the Senators, while the Senators’ seem to lack what it takes in in the playoffs. Ottawa’s defensive group remains thinned by injuries, forcing heavier workloads against a Toronto top six that has overwhelmed them in recent meetings. Meanwhile, Ottawa leans on a heavily used goaltender who has been stretched thin over the past two weeks.

With Toronto’s roster mostly healthy and deeper forward rotations available, the visitors have the advantage in a game that can end Ottawa's "run" inthe playoffs. Given Toronto’s strong road record and a favorable price near even money, backing the Maple Leafs shapes up as the sharper play tonight.

Over/Under Pick - Over 5.5 (-110): B+

The Toronto Maple Leafs are in Ottawa looking to sweep the Sens, while the Senators are looking to at least take one game in the Battle of Ontario. With Ottawa’s blue line and goaltending having serious concerns, defensive stability could be hard to find. Despite those issues, Ottawa’s top scorers have consistently produced against Toronto, keeping this rivalry competitive and high-scoring in recent meetings.

Both teams feature top-five power plays and face goaltenders dealing with fatigue, setting up a strong case for offense to shine. With momentum, defensive absences, and special teams all pointing toward fireworks, taking the Over 5.5 feels like the smart play for this tilt.

Puckline Pick - Toronto Maple Leafs, -1.5 (-267): B-

The Toronto Maple Leafs head to Ottawa in a great position to take the series, while the Senators seem to already be booking their tee times, putting their putting their hard earned run in the playoffs to a quick end. Toronto enters the matchup mostly healthy aside from an absence on defense, but still carries one of the league’s top road power plays. Ottawa, meanwhile, has struggled defensively at even strength in recent games.

With Toronto’s depth scoring finding its rhythm and strong recent goaltending, a two-goal margin looks very attainable despite the higher price. Backing the Maple Leafs on the puckline earns a B- grade—likely to hit, but with modest value due to the juiced odds.
