After what can only be described as an interesting summer for both teams, the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs are set to do battle once again.
Following an off-season in which the Leafs made the biggest splash, signing superstar forward John Tavares in free agency, they opened the season Wednesday night with a 3-2 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens. Ottawa, meanwhile, played their first game sans Erik Karlsson on Thursday night. They iced an impressive effort against the talented Chicago Blackhawks, but ultimately fell 4-3 in overtime.
