Ottawa goes into Toronto as slight 145 favorites to come away with a win Saturday.
The Senators play into revenge Saturday, after handing Toronto a 4-2 defeat in their last meeting back on March 4, 2006.

Bryan Murray's troops hosted Florida last game and came away with a 5-4 loss, a game that went over 6.5. Oddsmakers had them as favorites in that one.
