Odds for Maple Leafs vs Senators Game 4

Heading into Saturday’s action, bettors are torn on who they think will win.

Toronto has been on an absolute tear this season, while Ottawa has home ice advantage and has forced overtime in two of the three previous games.

Throughout NHL history, only four teams have ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the postseason, and the Sens are aiming to be the fifth.

On FanDuel, Ottawa has -113 odds while Toronto is -106. On DraftKings, the Senators have -115 odds and the Leafs are -105.

It would take a $115 bet on Ottawa to win $100 on DraftKings, and a $105 bet on Toronto would net $100.
