The Sens are set for their first home playoff game of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Heading into game three of their first round series, the Senators will be looking to get their first win as the Maple Leafs currently hold a 2-0 lead in the series. The first meeting between the Senators and Maple Leafs came on Sunday, with the Leafs winning by a score of 6-2. Drake Batherson and Ridly Greig both scored for the Senators.
Most recently, the Senators fell to the Maple Leafs by a score of 3-2 in overtime on Tuesday. Scoring for the Senators were Brady Tkachuk and Adam Gaudette, the latter’s goal tying the game late in the third to force overtime.

Despite being down by two in the series, the Senators aren’t worried. Strong five-on-five play has seen them outshoot the Maple Leafs 61-45 over two games. Of the Maple Leafs’ nine goals scored, four have come on the power play. Locking down on the penalty kill and continuing to get pucks to the net will be key to the Senators finding success.
Taking the series to Ottawa and gaining home ice advantage will only serve to benefit the Senators in their push to even the series. “I expect it to be as loud of a rink as I’ve ever heard,” spoke Brady Tkachuk following this morning’s skate. “I know it’s been a long time coming for Sens fans and this is a moment where we’re going to need them, need that energy, passion and drive, and we’ll be looking to thrive off that.”
