The Toronto Maple Leafs Are Closer To The Playoffs With a Win Over The Ottawa Senators

The Toronto Maple Leafs still believe that they have a chance to make it to the NHL post season, but will need to string some wins together. Playing against the lowly Ottawa Senators can be just what they are looking for.

Toronto's next game is Saturday against the Ottawa Senators as they wrap up four straight against Northeast Division rivals. The win over Buffalo pulled them within six points of a playoff spot, the closest they've been since early autumn.

Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller has beaten the Leafs more than any other team, including seven straight times at HSBC Arena before Wednesday.

But the Leafs reversed it with a great effort for back-to-back, one-goal divisional wins. After G Jean-Sebastien Giguere was pulled after nine saves on nine shots, James Reimer made 14 stops in relief. The Leafs made it through 40 minutes without allowing a Buffalo goal for the first time in any game against the Sabres since February 2008. Now they look to win again when they face off against Ottawa.

The Senators have already started trading players as they rebuild for the future. What remains to be seen is whether any more players are dealt before Friday. As is, more call-ups from the farm team in Binghamton will have to be made. How many depends on further trades and the status of defensemen Sergei Gonchar and Chris Campoli, who are suffering from injuries.

Regardless of the moves that the Senators will make, it is obvious that they have given up on the season. With all of the recent moves they will not put up a fight against Toronto.
