The Toronto Maple Leafs are once again facing playoff doubt and past ghosts after dropping back-to-back games to the Ottawa Senators and missing another chance to close out a series. Tuesday’s 4-0 loss at home trimmed their lead to 3-2 in the first-round matchup and extended a franchise trend of postseason letdowns.

Tuesday was a night to forget for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Ottawa Senators sit just one game behind the Leafs in the Battle of Ontario, after silencing Scotiabank Arena with a 4-0 win over Toronto on Tuesday.

After a rest day on Monday, Auston Matthews stepped onto the ice before the Toronto Maple Leafs' optional morning skate ahead of Game 5 against the Ottawa Senators.
