Burying the Jacket

The Leafs rode the momentum from their shutout victory against Montreal with a huge 6-3 victory of the Columbus Blue Jackets in just the 4th time the Leafs have played in Columbus. The Leafs have gotten points in 10 out of their last 12 games! MacDonald played great, Toskala was backup goaltender.

Kessel scores 2 goals tonight, he now has 10 on the season (more than anybody else on the Bruins). Blake lifted a HUGE weight off of his shoulders by netting two markers as well, both even strength, his first even strength goals of the season. Blake now has 4 on the season. Kulemin provided the Leafs with their 2nd shorthanded goal of the season, as well as Stempniak who scored his 6th of the season after a 6 game goaless drought, all of his goals have come on the road this season.

MacDonald got his first win of the season (Gustavsson got credit for the win on Tuesday). The question is, who will play Saturday night? MacDonald has been hot these last couple of games, however Toskala is healthy and ready.

Next game is this Saturday in Boston, Kessel will play his former club for the first time this season, it will also be the first time this season these Original Six clubs meet.

Notes: During the first intermission Burke told the media that Gustavsson would undergo his procedure tomorrow and will be out for 7-10 days.
