The Toronto Maple Leafs host the Ottawa Senators in a renewal of the Battle of Ontario.

Jarnkrok does play on the third line, but he’s averaging over 14-minutes of ice time in the early going. 41 of DeBrincat’s 78 points from a year ago came via the lamplighter, tying him for 13th in the NHL. His 0.33 expected goals rank fifth, and he’s already found the back of the net this season. He’ll face either Matt Murray or Ilya Samsonov on Saturday, and neither profiles as too tall of a task for the Senators’ offence. The pregame narrative: Alex DeBrincat was held off the scoresheet in his Sens debut, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. He accounted for five of Ottawa’s 11 total high-danger chances at 5v5,

The Leafs started off last season going 15-7 to the Under through their first 22 games. Toronto had two prime matchups for very heavy goals, got poor goaltending, and still failed to hit the Over. The Toronto goaltending has not been great out of the gates with both Murray and Ilya Samsonov sporting goals saved above expected in the negatives. The Leafs played 20 minutes of no-goal hockey Tuesday during a 2-2 tie and also did the same Thursday vs. The -118 ML price for Sens is interesting as it tells me the books have this team slightly overvalued just because of the roster additions in the offseason. Toronto also showed in both games that it can play a very careful and slow-paced game when tied or trailing. It’s tough for the Leafs to play tight with some of the defensive miscues they’ve had already this season. the Sabres. The battle of Ontario will give the Leafs another motivated inferior team on Saturday night. He looked shaky in the opener vs. an Ottawa team that will be playing its backup goalie and is weak on the blue line. The Nylander-Tavares-Malgin line has been the best in terms of expected production metrics and gets a great matchup vs.

NHL Odds, Preview, Prediction: Senators vs. Maple Leafs (October 15) (The Action Network)

Carol Schram breaks down Saturday's NHL game between the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs.

It the Senators start putting the pieces together, we could be in for an entertaining and high-scoring affair. There’s room for improvement from their three goals in each of their first two games, and a power play that has gone just 1-for-7. He didn’t fare much better in his Toronto debut, allowing four goals on 23 shots from the Canadiens for -1.5 goals saved above expected. The tight game was 2-1 Buffalo from the 7:25 mark of the second period until the last minute of the third, when Victor Olofsson scored a pair of empty-netters. The Senators hallmark this season is their deep pool of young offensive talent, headlined by new arrival Alex DeBrincat. They then returned to Scotiabank Arena to tally a 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Thursday.

With Matt Murray on LTIR, Ilya Samsonov will start his second consecutive as the Maple Leafs open the 2022-23 Battle of Ontario season series at Scotiabank ...

He gave us a chance to come back in the game and made some big saves down the stretch. Any time we play Ottawa, we know we are in a game. They have beaten us at key moments in the season. If you are going to beat them, you are going to have to defend. With the way both teams stack up, they have two lines that can really score and two lines that can check and play real hard. We are going to have to be willing to play that exact same way. Now they are in the hunt to make the playoffs. Let’s be honest: They are ahead of where we are in the development. Senators games tabbed for late March/early April in Ottawa (where there is always a great split-crowd atmosphere), playoff implications on the line would certainly make for a fun reanimation of the Battle of Ontario, but there are some big question marks for the Senators to answer in order to make that a reality. Goaltender Ilya Samsonov, after a shaky first period, settled in and shut the door the rest of the way. A lot of people will focus on the huge moves that the Senators made, inking the second-most discussed free agent contract and executing the second-most discussed trade in Claude Giroux and Alex DeBrincat, respectively. If you want to toss in Thomas Chabot’s 8x$8 M deal signed a few years back, you have close to half the cap given to five players, all of whom are signed for at least the next five seasons.
