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 the Leafs' lead to 3-2 in the first-round playoff matchup and extended a franchise trend of postseason letdowns.

John Tavares practiced in full on Monday after taking an elbow to the head from Senators defenceman Artem Zub in overtime of Game 4. Tavares looks and sounds fit to play in Game 5 after being called into concussion protocol following the hit. Tavares missed a crucial four-minute power play and the Leafs did not score.
