Ottawa Senators vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/28/26

The Battle of Ontario returns for its next installment, as the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs meet for a classic Saturday night showdown. These Atlantic Division teams met in the first round of the playoffs last season, and both find themselves in major jeopardy of missing the playoffs entirely this season. Here is a Senators vs Maple Leafs prediction for a massive game.

Toronto has been embarrassed so far since the Olympics, as it is 0-2-0 and has been outscored 9-3. It has been said quite often lately, but with the trade deadline just days away this is truly a do-or-die for the team this season. Leading the charge will be captain Auston Matthews, who has just 2 assists, 4 shots and is -3 in the 2 losses. He is also under scrutiny from a portion of Toronto fans and media after captaining the men’s USA team to an Olympic gold medal over the beloved Canadian group. Returning home for the first time since January 27, this is a game in which he can remind them of the task at hand and that he is here to succeed with the Maple Leafs and drag them to a playoff spot. If he can step up and other stars in William Nylander, John Tavares and Matthew Knies continuing their strong point production post Olympics, they should find some success. Ottawa is always a pesky team that will play them hard and keep things close, but I will give a slight lean to the Toronto money line for this Senators vs Maple Leafs prediction.
