Chapter Two of the 2015-16 Battle of Onterrible goes tonight at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata.
Coming off a 7-2 loss to the Oilers, the Senators have the second worst goal diferential in the East with a -22. The Leafs are coming off consecutive extra-time wins over the Bruins and Devils and appear to be coming out of their extended January slump.
With a win, the Leafs would pull within three of the Senators with two games in hand. And the Senators are trying to be good.
