Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto’s projected lineup for Game 6 against the Ottawa Senators | Stanley Cup Playoffs, Round 1, May 1, 2025

Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to close out their first-round series against the Ottawa Senators while on the road. Since jumping out to an early 3-0 lead in this best-of-seven series, the Maple Leafs have lost back-to-back games.

In Game 4, the team came up short in an overtime thriller, before getting shut out at home in Game 5. Heading into tonight's game, the team will be looking to close things out on the road and make it to the second round for the second time in ten years.

This season, the Maple Leafs have posted a 25-13-3 record on the road, while on the flip side, the Sens have posted a 27-11-3 record at home.

With Toronto looking to punch their ticket to the second round, and the Senators looking to force a Game 7 in Toronto, the stakes couldn't be higher for either team.
