| NHL | (7) Toronto Maple Leafs at (8) Ottawa Senators: Total | 7:37pm EDT - Apr 15/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Over 6.5 (-105)
The season should have ended weeks ago for the Maple Leafs, who are long since eliminated from playoff contention and bringing a six-game losing streak into tonight’s reg-season finale at Ottawa.
Injuries, not the least of which to Auston Matthews a bit over a month ago, effectively sabotaged this campaign for Toronto, putting HC Craig Berube's position in jeopardy after GM Brad Treviling already walked the plank. Now, with GK Anthony Stolarz out, Joseph Woll and Artur Akhtyamov been handling the goalie chores...and not too well, either. Though Woll has been slightly better than Akhtyamov, he’s also having a miserable time of it lately, with a 4.74 GAA and .825 saves in thee April appearances. Shorthanded Toronto has also stopped playing defense, allowing 32 goals in the six-game skid, and four of the last five losses have featured eight or more goals.
Meanwhile the Sens are hitting the postseason hot, having scored 23 goals across their last five games, and readying for an opening-round matchup vs. the Hurricanes. We look "over" 6.5 goals at -105, and would not mind laying as much as -110 in Ottawa tonight. Play Leafs-Senators “Over”
