Game 57 - Leafs 6, Ottawa 3 - Toronto break open close game late

The final scoreline may have shown a clear win for Toronto, but it was anything but, as the Battle of Ontario was a tightly fought game, with the Leafs only getting ahead in the closing minutes.

Another bad start for Toronto, as they gave up a late goal in an otherwise quiet first, before falling behind by two midway through the second. They made a strong comeback in the second half, getting a pair of goals in quick succession, and handily winning chances in the frame.

After an exchange of goals in the first half of the third period, Toronto pulled away in the last 6 minutes, outchancing the Senators 5-0 over that stretch, and getting three goals, including an empty-netter, to secure the win.

Toronto won the chances, but narrowly, 16-13 overall and 13-12 at ES. Ottawa just edged the close chances, 9-8.

Neil was effective on the scoreboard, but was only even in generating chances, The strongest of the forwards for Ottawa were Turris and MacArthur, though they were a pretty balanced side in creating chances, with almost everyone chipping in. Jared Cowan was the lowest, at -3, while Michalek, Zibanejad and Spezza were at -2, along with Karlsson.

Players with nice chance numbers:
Toronto - James Van Riemsdyk, Tyler Bozak, Morgan Rielly
Ottawa - Clarke MacArthur, Kyle Turris

Players with poor chance numbers:
Toronto - Jay McClement, Nikolai Kulemin
Ottawa - Jared Cowan, Erik Karlsson, Jason Spezza
