The Columbus Blue Jackets came to town to take on the Leafs on Monday night, in a matchup that featured two of the top four teams in the standings. Both Sergei Bobrovsky and Frederik Andersen are tough to beat, so this looked bound to be a lower scoring game than we’re used to.
First Period
The Leafs were breaking out of their zone well to start this game, and the team had three two-on-one rushes within the first seven minutes. Tyler Ennis hit the crossbar with a slap-shot while on a two-on-one with Frederik Gauthier, but the Leafs simply couldn’t capitalize on these chances in the early-going.
