Toronto Maple Leafs key players and injuries
The Maple Leafs' Max Pacioretty and John Tavares contributed three points in their opening fixture. Defenders Ben Danford and Jani Hakanpaa are out indefinitely as things stand.
Ottawa Senators game preview
Despite having a good start to their preseason, the Senators will be grounded by their seventh-position finish in the Atlantic Division last year. They will look to make it through to the playoffs for the first time in 8 seasons.
Ottawa is aware of its lack of attack last season and should improve upon this time. We can expect the team to fix that issue by the start of the NHL season.
Ottawa Senators key players and injuries
The Ottawa Senators and management will be proud of Cole Reinhardt and Jan Jenik, who contributed four points each.
With the start of the season around the corner, both players could give the coach something to wonder regarding starting places when the season commences. As for injuries, the Senators are set to miss out on Leevi Merilainen for the upcoming game.
