Maple Leafs trounce Senators in Game 1 of Stanley Cup Playoffs: Live reaction and updates

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. Mitch Marner added another to make it 2-0 for the Maple Leafs.

With Drake Batherson cutting the deficit to one at the first intermission, a close game seemed like a possibility. But the Leafs offensive firepower was too much for the inexperienced Senators. Toronto scored three goals on the power play, which included goals from John Tavares, William Nylander and Matthew Knies.

Anthony Stolarz made 31 saves en route to the Game 1 victory. Game 2 is Tuesday night in Toronto.
