      The Senators are heading back home for Game 6 after big 4-0 win in Toronto

      The first period came to a close scoreless, with both teams having power play opportunities but unable to capitalize. The Senators found themselves trailing 12-3 in shots after the first period.

      At 3:46 into the second period, an offensive zone face-off win saw Thomas Chabot dance the puck along the blue line to score his first NHL playoff goal and give the Senators a 1-0 lead. Assisting his goal was Brady Tkachuk, the lone assist on the goal.

          OTT@TOR: Chabot scores goal against Anthony Stolarz

          Chabot’s goal was the difference maker of the second frame, as the period came to a close with the Senators leading by a score of 1-0. Following 40 minutes of play, the Maple Leafs continued to lead the way in shots, but the Senators closed the gap from the first period, being outshot 18-12.

          With 11:36 remaining in the third, a strong defensive play by Adam Gaudette led to an odd man rush the other way for the Senators, with Dylan Cozens burying the first playoff goal of his career to make it 2-0 for the Sens. Picking up the lone assist on the goal was Gaudette.
