TORONTO -- The Ottawa Senators trail the Toronto Maple Leafs by 22 points in the Eastern Conference standings, but that figures to have little influence when the teams meet Saturday night.
The Senators have won five in a row at the Air Canada Centre. Their last loss there came April 5, 2015, when the Maple Leafs won 3-2 in a shootout.
The Senators (19-25-9) defeated the Maple Leafs (32-19-5) 4-3 on Jan. 10 in their first game of the season at the ACC. The teams have split their two games in Ottawa.
Both teams beat the Nashville Predators (Toronto 3-2 in a shootout on Wednesday and Ottawa 4-3 in overtime on Thursday) in their most recent games.
