Finally, a Battle of Ontario that packs some punch.
As the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs both reach the midpoint of their seasons Saturday night as they face off at the Canadian Tire Centre, both are in a race for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
A victory by the Leafs and they’ll be tied for third spot in the Atlantic Division as both teams play Game 41 on their schedule.
The last time both teams in Ontario made the playoffs was 2012-13.
The Leafs are coming off a 4-2 win over the New York Rangers Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
