For the latest Leafs updates, Follow @mikeinbuffalo on Twitter The Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping to extend their home winning streak to four games as they take on the Ottawa Senators at Air Canada Centre on Saturday. The fourth and final installment of the Battle of Ontario represents two clubs going in different directions, as the Leafs are third in the Atlantic Division with 69 points and contemplating additions at the trade deadline, while the Senators an organization in flux. Ottawa and Team President Tom Anselmi parted ways on Friday and the club gave GM Pierre Dorion a three-year contract extension, while at the same time releasing a statement that their poor performance this season after reaching the Eastern Conference Final will have Dorion potentially moving out players on high-priced contracts (Mike Hoffman, Zack Smith, Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Dion Phaneuf) and others coming on restricted and unrestricted free agency at the end of this or next season (Mark Stone, Cody Ceci and Erik Karlsson) for young assets and draft choices. Toronto could be interested in Ceci and Karlsson if Ottawa is shopping them before February 26 or over the summer, but it is hard to believe that they would deal with their provincial and division rival unless they overpay. The Leafs will make only one lineup change from the squad that won a 3-2 shootout over Nashville on Wednesday, as Connor Carrick will replace Roman Polak on the bottom pairing with rookie Travis Dermott, in part because the defenseman scored the game-winning goal against the Sens in Ottawa on January 20. ******* The Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled their uniform for the Stadium Series game against the Washington Capitals in Annapolis, MD on March 3rd and if you like white, you will like these jerseys.
