The Toronto Maple Leafs will be looking to extend their road record to 4-0-0 on Saturday when they travel to Ottawa to resume their Battle of Ontario rivalry with the Senators as slim –115 betting favourites on the NHL odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Toronto built on its perfect road record with a 2-0 win at Washington at +111 on the odds on Tuesday, and has surrendered just five total goals in three away contests this season going into Saturday night’s Maple Leafs vs. Senators betting matchup at Canadian Tire Centre.
However, it has been the club’s explosive offence that has captured the imagination of Leafs Nation in the early going of the new campaign. The Maple Leafs lead the NHL with 4.85 goals per game, powering them to a 6-1-0 record and the top of the Stanley Cup odds, where they join the division-rival Tampa Bay Lightning as +900 co-favourites.
While the Leafs have reached new heights during a fast start, the Senators are pegged as -105 underdogs as they look for an end to their woes at home. Ottawa is winless in four home contests this season including a 5-4 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils as -150 chalk on Thursday night.
The Senators have enjoyed considerable success in recent dates with the Maple Leafs, winning seven of eight dating back to October 2015, but dropped a 4-2 decision to Toronto as -124 favourites in their last home matchup in mid-January.
