That uptick should continue with Craig Berube looking to roll his top guys more as the games get more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Tavares ranks second on the Leafs with 16 shots in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 5 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sanderson over 0.5 points (-118):<\/strong> The 22-year-old defenceman has been Ottawa&#8217;s best player in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s averaging north of 27 minutes on ice, and he played a major role in the Senators&#8217; shutout win in Game 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanderson&#8217;s best performance, though, was in Game 4, when he played over 30 minutes and scored the game-winning goal in overtime to go along with an earlier assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That makes Sanderson 2-3 against this line, but I can&#8217;t help but side with his growing momentum as Ottawa continues to play with its back against the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanderson had a career-high 57 points this season, which ranked 10th among NHL defencemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;ll be on the ice for around half the game and is an elite playmaker from the back end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Leafs have another poor performance, look for Sanderson and Co. to take advantage at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Senators scored more goals per game at home this season (3.37) than on the road (2.54).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maple Leafs vs. Senators picks made at 4:27 p.m. ET 04\/30\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things are starting to get messy as the Battle of Ontario moves back to Ottawa for Game 6 on Thursday.
