SENATORS 2, MAPLE LEAFS 1 A fortunate bounce made a huge difference for the Ottawa Senators in the latest round of the Battle of Ontario Saturday night. It doesn’t matter how all that matters is how many and a bounce off centre Shane Pinto’s knee that landed in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ net turned out to be the winner in Ottawa’s 2-1 victory at the Canadian Tire Centre.
Our Senators vs. Utah predictions expect Ottawa's trend of low-scoring games to continue at Canadian Tire Centre.
BOTTOM LINE: The Ottawa Senators play the Utah Hockey Club in a non-conference matchup. Ottawa is 25-20-4 overall and 13-7-2 in home games. The Senators serve 9.0 penalty minutes per game to rank 10th in the league.
Pinto broke a 1-1 tie at 10:47. Matthew Highmore’s initial sharp-angled shot from the right side of the net deflected high off the stick of Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner, and Highmore then batted the puck out of the air to the left post, where it deflected in off of Pinto.
One big key to the Senators emerging victorious over Toronto was Pinto’s play against Leafs superstar Auston Matthews. Pinto played over 13 minutes against Matthews at five-on-five, according to Natural Stat Trick. Matthews played 22:47 but had just one shot in the loss, snapping his five-game points streak.
