The Toronto Maple Leafs dominate the Ottawa Senators 6-2 to take Game 1 of their first-round series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Toronto opened the scoring in the first period with Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

Unfortunately for the Maple Leafs, the positive vibes would quickly be snuffed out by Martin Brodeur and the trap-loving New Jersey Devils. On their way to a Cup triumph, the Devils would smother Toronto 4-2, allowing a mere six shots in a series-clinching Game 6 2-0 shutout.

The Senators outhit the Maple Leafs 56-30 in Game 1 but many of their key young players including forwards Stutzle, Brady Tkachuk, Drake Batherson, Shane Pinto, Ridly Greig and Dylan Cozens, and defensemen Jake Sanderson, Thomas Chabot and Artem Zub each played their first Stanley Cup Playoff game.
