The Ottawa Senators will look to kick off their 2024-25 Stanley Cup Playoff campaign with a win when they collide with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday.

Despite being outside the top three in the Atlantic Division for nearly the entire year, late in the regular season, Ottawa fought and made a strong push in the Eastern Conference's wild-card race.

The team closed out the year with a record of 45-30-7, ending the season with a 6-2-2 record over their final ten games.

After making the playoffs for the first time since 2017, when they made it to the conference finals, the Senators will be looking to shock the world by ousting the top-seed Maple Leafs in the first round.
