Senators look to keep rolling vs. Maple Leafs

Mar 22, 2008 - 1:04 PM Toronto (34-31-10) at Ottawa (41-26-7) 7:00 pm EDT

OTTAWA (Ticker) - The Ottawa Senators go for their fifth victory in six games when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Ottawa is in fifth place of the Eastern Conference, currently three points behind Montreal (41-24-10) for first place in the Northeast Division. All eight of the Senators' final games are against division foes, including two with the Canadiens.

The Senators are coming off a 3-2 victory over St. Louis on Thursday. Jason Spezza scored the go-ahead tally midway through the second period and has recorded a point in five straight games.

The Maple Leafs have won four of their last five contests, and have a five-game road winning streak.

However, the team will likely continue to be without leading scorer Mats Sundin and Nik Antropov. Sundin, the team captain, has missed the last two games with a groin strain and Antropov is nursing a knee injury.

Ottawa is 3-3-0 against Toronto in the first six meetings this season.
