The Maple Leafs looked like they were well on their way to an easy win in Game 2 before the Senators came roaring back. Morgan Rielly and John Tavares both scored in the first period to give them a 2-0 lead. The Senators, though, would score in the second and then late in the third period to force overtime. Max Domi made sure the Maple Leafs stopped the rally, though, as he scored 3:09 into overtime to give them the win.

Ottawa, though, will do its best to climb back into the series and defend its home ice and get its first win of the series. The Senators are in the playoffs for the first time since 2017, when they made it to the conference finals.

They missed the playoffs for seven straight seasons and are hoping they can put up more of a fight against the Maple Leafs.
