Guide to Maple Leafs vs Senators Game 3: Odds, Prediction, and Viewing Information (April 23)

• The Battle of Ontario shifts to Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa for Game 3 between the Senators and Maple Leafs Thursday night.

• Toronto leads the series 2-0 but is the underdog Thursday night against the Senators.

• The mood in this series is about to change and I have your prediction, and look at the best odds for Maple Leafs vs Senators tonight

Toronto (42-42 ATS) goes on the road to hostile Ottawa (36-48 ATS) with a 2-0 lead in their first-round NHL playoff series.

The Leafs have won seven games in a row and are an incredible 4-7 on the power play in this series.

I see another tough game between these two rivals. Ottawa will be playing its first home playoff game since 2017. I have your prediction and guide to the best odds.

Maple Leafs vs Senators Prediction

• Pick: Sens Puck Line -1.5 (+190)

My prediction is that Ottawa comes through with a must-win on Thursday night and covers the 1.5 puck line. Toronto dominated Game 1 and won 6-2, but Game 2 was a dogfight. I saw Ottawa take control in the second period and dominate until losing in overtime. Hey, that happens in playoff hockey.

Senators goalie Linus Ullmark has given up nine goals in the first two games, but the former Vezina Trophy winner is too good to play another bad game. Ottawa will get a huge boost from a bonkers home crowd, where they went 27-11-3 this season and outplay the Leafs.

I also love the over total tonight. You’ve got some serious offensive firepower in this series with Mitch Marner (102 points) and William Nylander (45 goals) for Toronto. Ottawa star Brady Tkachuk is making his playoff debut and is settling in. I liked how he played in Game 2 with a team-high five shots.

History is also against the Leafs. The last time Toronto had a 2-0 lead in a series was 2002 against the Islanders. That series went seven games. I predict we’re in this for the long haul.

The Senators enter tonight as 1.5-goal favorite, with the total at 5.5. Each of the Senators last four home games have hit the over. Game 1 of the series also went over. I definitely like the over tonight.

Toronto has failed to cover the puck line in each of its last 11 games in Ottawa after a win at home. That tells me there’s some travel fatigue here.

Toronto’s moneyline is pretty good at DraftKings at -105. For Ottawa, the moneyline total is a consistent -115 almost everywhere you look except FanDuel.

Maple Leafs vs Senators Head to Head

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators are set to face off in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series on April 23. With the series tied at 1-1, both teams will be looking to gain an edge in what promises to be a highly competitive matchup.

The odds for this game are currently favoring the Maple Leafs, who are coming off a dominant 5-1 victory in Game 2. Toronto is led by superstar Auston Matthews, who has been on fire in the playoffs with seven goals in just two games. The Senators, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their Game 2 loss and rely on their depth and physicality to compete with the high-powered Maple Leafs.

In terms of predictions, it’s hard to bet against the Maple Leafs with the way they have been playing. Matthews and his linemates Mitch Marner and Zach Hyman have been unstoppable, and their depth players have also been contributing on both ends of the ice. However, the Senators have shown that they are a resilient team and will not go down without a fight. It wouldn’t be surprising to see this game go down to the wire.

For fans looking to catch the action, the game will be broadcasted on NBCSN and Sportsnet in Canada. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET, so make sure to tune in to see which team will come out on top in Game 3.

Overall, this matchup between the Maple Leafs and Senators promises to be an exciting one. With both teams hungry for a win, expect a fast-paced and physical game with plenty of scoring opportunities. Make sure to tune in on April 23 to see all the action unfold.
