OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 4-2 loss in Game 6 of the best-of-7 Eastern Conference First Round on Thursday. Ottawa is now 0-5 all-time in playoff series against their Battle of Ontario rivals from Toronto.
The Senators (45-30-7) made the playoffs as the first wild card from the Eastern Conference. It was their first postseason appearance since 2017, when they lost Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins in heartbreaking fashion when Chris Kunitz ended their Cup dreams with the series-winning goal in double overtime for Pittsburgh.
