Thursday NHL Free play. My selection is on Ottawa over Toronto at 7 pm ET on Thursday.

Despite falling just short in an overtime heartbreaker on Tuesday, Ottawa showed it can go toe-to-toe with the high-powered Maple Leafs, and now gets the chance to shift the momentum back at home. The Senators were a tough out at the Canadian Tire Center all season long, finishing with a strong 27-11-3 home record and outscoring opponents by 0.6 goals per game in those contests. While the Leafs enter with a 2-0 series lead, they haven’t had things easy and now head into a hostile building where Ottawa swept the regular season series and has already proven it can exploit Toronto’s flaws.

Toronto’s defensive effort has been far more consistent on home ice this season, but that hasn’t translated on the road, where they’ve allowed 3.1 goals per game. That could open the door for Ottawa’s offense to break out in front of its home crowd after managing just two goals in each of the first two games. The Sens should also benefit from the matchups they’re able to dictate with last change. With renewed urgency and the backing of a home-ice edge, look for Ottawa to dig deep and get back into the series with a win.

Take Ottawa. Projected score: Senators 3, Maple Leafs 2.
