Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic — Hilary Knight set an assist record as the United States wrapped up the group stage at the women’s ice hockey world championship by beating Switzerland 5-0 on Tuesday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have clinched the Atlantic Division with a victory over the Buffalo Sabres this evening and have locked up a first round playoff matchup against the provincial rival Ottawa Senators.

The Maple Leafs have qualified for the playoffs each of the past nine seasons but with only one series victory in that span. They lost in seven games to the Boston Bruins in the first round last season. The Senators last made the playoffs in 2017, when they lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games in the conference final.

With a new generation of the Battle of Ontario set to get underway, fans understand that there is little that connects the current Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators with the iteration of the provincial rivals that were regular playoff foes in the early 2000s.

The Battle of Ontario returns after a 20-year gap as the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators meet in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, starting Sunday night.
