Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators Game 82 Preview: Lineups, Goaltenders, & Best Bets

Game 82 of the season has arrived — and somehow it actually matters for the Toronto Maple Leafs. On this episode of Leafs Nation 401, host Zack Phillips breaks down the bizarre scenario facing Toronto heading into their final game of the 2025-26 NHL season against the Ottawa Senators. Instead of fighting for playoff positioning, the Leafs are battling to secure the best possible odds in the NHL Draft Lottery, where a regulation loss could lock Toronto into a top-five draft position and improve their chances at landing a franchise-changing prospect. Zack dives into the current standings race with teams like the Seattle Kraken, explains the lottery math behind finishing fifth in the NHL draft order, and why picking up even a single point could complicate the situation. He also takes a look at the projected Leafs lineup featuring players like William Nylander, John Tavares, Matthew Knies, Max Domi, and Nick Robertson, while highlighting young prospects getting late-season opportunities. Plus, the show breaks down the defensive pairings led by Morgan Rielly and Jake McCabe, the expected goaltending matchup between Dennis Hildeby and James Reimer, and the Bet365 best bets for Leafs vs Senators including goal-scorer picks and puck-line predictions. It’s a strange end to a chaotic Leafs season — but Game 82 still carries major implications for the franchise’s future.
