The Senators (35-25-5) are trying to do their part to end their seven-year playoff drought, coming into Toronto on a five-game winning streak to face the Maple Leafs (39-23-3) in front of a national TV audience on "Hockey Night in Canada" on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; CBC, SNO, SNW, SNP, TVAS2).

Sam Bennett scored power-play goals late in each of the first two periods, Sergei Bobrovsky made 23 saves and the short-handed Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple

The game had a playoff feel with first place in the Atlantic Division at stake and had some chippy moments. Florida is first, four points ahead of Toronto after the victory.
