Toronto, Ontario (My Sportsbook) - The Toronto Maple Leafs aim to stay undefeated on the young NHL season when they play host to the Ottawa Senators Saturday in their home opener at the Air Canada Centre.

Ed Belfour stopped all 33 shots he faced in his debut for the Maple Leafs as Toronto blanked the Pittsburgh Penguins, 6-0, in the season-opener at the Igloo on Thursday. The Leafs' top line of Mats Sundin, Alexander Mogilny and Darcy Tucker accounted for four goals and seven assists to lead the onslaught.

Sundin, who now needs one more goal for 400 in his career, scored twice and added two assists, while Mogilny added a pair of goals and an assist. Tucker, the third member of the dynamic line, racked up four assists.

Belfour, who became the first Maple Leaf netminder to record a shutout in his debut, was lured to Toronto in the off-season to replace Curtis Joseph, who left for Detroit via free agency. The 37-year-old netminder was solid, but did not have to be spectacular, in registering his 59th career shutout. He stands alone in second place behind Patrick Roy (61) on the career shutouts list among active goaltenders.

Ottawa on the other hand was dealt a 2-1 setback to the New Jersey Devils in their season-opener on Thursday.

Patrick Lalime made 18 saves for the Senators, who had been 3-0-3 in their previous six season-openers and lost for only the second time in 11 all-time openers (4-2-5). Daniel Alfredsson scored the lone Ottawa goal.

Ottawa finally beat Devils netminder Martin Brodeur with just 1:46 left in the third. Peter Schastlivy picked up a loose puck just inside the New Jersey blue line along the right wing and skated in a few strides before wristing a shot toward the net. Alfredsson was in the right circle and deflected the high shot past Brodeur.

The Senators, who were 0-for-5 on the power play, pulled Lalime with just over a minute to play, but failed to generate a quality scoring chance. Alfredsson was called for elbowing with just 34 seconds left to end Ottawa's extra-man advantage.

The Senators held a 34-20 edge in shots, including a 12-4 margin in the third.

Ottawa has won nine of the last 11 meetings between these two teams, including four of the last five in Toronto.

Last season Ottawa captured the season series, 3-2-0, and is 17-6-2 in the last 25 meetings. Toronto, however, knocked the Sens out of last spring's playoffs in the second round, winning in seven games.
