GARRIOCH : Next up are Matt Murray and the Maple Leafs as Senators try to rebound from opening loss

Ottawa is trying to rebound from a season\u002Dopening loss against Buffalo for a win in the latest edition of the NHL\u0027s Battle of Ontario.

Dealt to Toronto on July 11 along with third- and seventh-round draft picks, Murray, 28, is hoping for a fresh start after two injury-plagued seasons with Ottawa. He finished his stay with the Senators with a 15-25-3 record in 47 games.Article content
