The Leafs look to take a commanding, 2-0 series lead against the Senators with a win in Game 2 of their first-round matchup Tuesday night.
Toronto is starved for playoff success: Despite nine consecutive playoff appearances, the Leafs have won just one series in that span, never making it past the second round.
At the least, they began the 2025 playoffs on the right foot, with a thorough, 6-2 victory in Game 1 on Sunday night. Six different players found the back of the net, with winger Mitch Marner recording a goal and two assists. It felt like a continuation from the regular season, in which the Leafs finished atop the Atlantic Division with 108 points.
Can the Senators rebound and steal a game in Toronto before the series shifts to Ottawa? They won all three head-to-head matchups against the Leafs in the regular season, outscoring Toronto by a total of 9-3.
Ottawa is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2017, following a 97-point regular season.
