Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators Prediction & Picks

On October 03, 2026 our model has run Ottawa Senators at Toronto Maple Leafs and priced every market it can. Our strongest call is Ottawa Senators To Win (-105), which we rate strong confidence. Every bet below is our own number against the price on the board, in plain English.

Every bet we like in this game

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators: Ottawa Senators To Win (-105)

Odds correct at time of publishing.

The Ottawa Senators need to outscore the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight to grab a win. The Senators have been pretty good at scoring, averaging 3.35 goals per game last season, which is better than the league average. With the Leafs only winning 3 out of their last 10 games, they are struggling a bit right now. One risk to consider is that the Senators have allowed quite a few shots against them, but they still managed to win almost half of their games in regulation last season. The Leafs may have home ice, but the Senators look strong and have a solid chance to take this one.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators: Ottawa Senators 3-Way Moneyline (+150)

Odds correct at time of publishing.

For the Senators to win tonight, they just need to outplay the Maple Leafs. The Senators have been scoring well, averaging over three goals a game last season, while the Leafs have struggled, winning only three of their last ten games. Plus, the Senators are taking more shots and allowing fewer, which gives them a good chance to control the game. The biggest worry is that the matchup is pretty close, so anything could happen. Still, with Ottawa's solid goal-scoring and Toronto's recent struggles, this pick feels promising. The odds are favorable too, making it an interesting choice for tonight's game at Scotiabank Arena.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators: Ottawa Senators 2nd Period 3-Way Moneyline (+170)

Odds correct at time of publishing.

For the Ottawa Senators to win the second period against the Toronto Maple Leafs, they just need to keep up their strong scoring. The Senators averaged over three goals a game last season, which is better than the league average. They also took nearly 29 shots per game, showing that they know how to create chances. The risk comes from the Leafs being at home and having a tough crowd behind them. However, the Senators have been solid recently, winning almost half their games in regulation last season. With the odds at +170, this is a good spot for a hopeful bet on Ottawa to take the second period.

That is the full board for this game. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
