OTTAWA -- By comparison, the Toronto Maple Leafs problems are nowhere near as dire as their provincial rivals.
But they are serious nonetheless.
When the Leafs visit the Ottawa Senators at CanadianTire Centre on Saturday night, they will be carrying a four-game winless streak and a string of blown leads.
The day after their latest collapse -- a 3-2 overtime loss in Philadelphia on Thursday after they were in front 2-0 -- goalie Frederik Andersen loudly questioned the work habits of some teammates during practice.
"He doesn't say much, but when he says something, people listen up," center Auston Matthews told reporters.
