Our pick: Toronto – Ottawa: Over 5.5 goals

23.04.2025 01:37

After seven years without a playoff appearance, Ottawa has managed to break into the Stanley Cup playoffs. However, the joy of this success was spoiled by the first game of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series in Toronto. Frustration from the defeat was so high that there was a mass brawl at the end of the game, which spiced up this Canadian derby, the so-called Battle of Ontario.

But Ottawa knew before the start of the series that it wasn’t going to be easy. Toronto was in fantastic form in the final weeks of the regular season. They had won nine of their last ten games and won the Atlantic Division, in which Ottawa finished fourth.

The 6-2 win in the first game is also important for Toronto in terms of confidence. The Maple Leafs lost all three games against Ottawa in the regular season. But they showed at the start of the playoffs that they won’t let that affect them.

What to bet on:

The first game of the series was very attractive and the second game of the derby in Toronto should be in the same vein. There should be plenty of goals again, with at least six.

Confidence:

7/10
