Senators explode offensively while rolling over Maple Leafs

There was more goaltending intrigue for Toronto on Friday night, as well.

Senators captain Brady Tkachuk led the way with two goals, while alternate captain Thomas Chabot, Derick Brassard, Drake Batherson and Claude Giroux also scored. Tim Stutzle had a pair of assists and repeatedly zig-zagged through the Maple Leafs defence. Anton Forsberg, who will carry the ball in goal while Cam Talbot sits out because of a lower-body injury, made 31 saves for the win.

Early in the third, Tkachuk scored his second of the game to give the Senators a commanding 5-2 lead, and Giroux put some late icing on the celebratory cake with another pretty goal on Samsonov following a steal in the neutral zone.Article content Before the second period was finished, Batherson, now playing on the third line alongside Shane Pinto and Brassard, ripped a shot past Samsonov to give the Senators their two-goal cushion.

Murray was expected to make his first start against the Senators since last summer’s trade to the Maple Leafs, but before the puck dropped there was yet another twist in Murray’s drama-filled history.
