Blue Jackets Fall 6-2 to Maple Leafs: Four-Goal Second Period Sinks Columbus
In Columbus, a city in Franklin County, Ohio, the Toronto Maple Leafs scored four times in the second period to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-2 at Nationwide Arena. Former Blue Jacket Kirill Marchenko scored on the power play at 8:16 of the first period; Columbus got goals from Jake Christiansen — his first since December 21, 2024, at 2:38 of the first — and Charlie Coyle.
Goaltender Jet Greaves allowed five goals before being pulled; Toronto's Anthony Stolarz finished with more than 30 saves. Attendance was 15,073.
A Kent Johnson goal apparent with 0.9 seconds left in the first period was waved off on review as not crossing the line. Columbus falls to 3-5-0 and has lost four of its last five.
