On [Sunday night](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-game-recap-maple-leafs-highlights-columbus-blue-jackets-highlights-nhl-recaps/) these two teams met and slogged it out in a game that kept creativity off the table, and made the goalies do all the work to win the game. ### Columbus Blue Jackets at Toronto Maple Leafs **Blue Jackets lead series 1-0** **4:00PM ET - Scotiabank Arena, Toronto Bubble** **Watch: Sportsnet, TVA Sports, NHL Network, NBCSN, NHL Live** **Listen: Sportsnet 590** **Opponents:** [**Jackets Cannon**](https://www.jacketscannon.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) (This game is *not* available on CBC.) Sunday night was a perfect storm of disappointment for a lot of Leafs fans. We had hyped ourselves up for a big storm out of the gate, eager to see some goals from our high energy, highly skilled forwards. We were so ready for playoff intensity we forgot there was an almost five month layoff between games and our opponent was the type to be frustrating to play against and had taken down a record setting opponent in last years playoffs, not to mention the Maple Leafs themselves were an iffy playoff team. We were reminded of all of this that night, and hopefully the lessons also sunk into this team. In yesterdays FTB Hardev looked at the [winners and losers](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/daily-news-links-toronto-maple-leafs-winners-losers-game-1-toronto-maple-leafs-columbus-blue-jackets/) of the first game, and goaltender Frederik Andersen was his sole winner for the Maple Leafs, which I strongly agree with. Yes, the single goal that was scored wasn’t exactly a laser from the slot, but it was one goal against out of 34 shots. If we’re expecting a shutout from Andersen every night, we have to re-think things. One goal against shouldn’t be the end of the game and the blame for this loss rests squarely on the shoulders of the offense who scored \[checks notes\] zero goals. This *is* a goal scoring competition after all. **Maple Leafs lines** From Monday’s practice William Nylander – Auston Matthews – Zach Hyman Ilya Mikheyev – John Tavares – Mitch Marner Nick Robertson – Alex Kerfoot – Kasperi Kapanen Kyle Clifford – Pierre Engvall – Jason Spezza Spares: Andreas Johnsson – Frederik Gauthier Jake Muzzin – Justin Holl Morgan Rielly – Cody Ceci Travis Dermott – Tyson Barrie Spares: Rasmus Sandin – Martin Marincin Frederik Andersen Jack Campbell Pierre Engvall gets swapped in for Gauthier while the rest of the lines remain the same. No changes on defense from game one, and I wouldn’t mind seeing Sandin in for Dermott, but my guess is coach Sheldon Keefe won’t want to make any drastic changes to the line up in game two. Now if the Leafs go down 2-0 in the series... **Blue Jackets lines** via Blue Jackets Twitter Nick Foligno - Alex Wennberg - Cam Atkinson Alex Texier - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Oliver Bjorkstrand Gustav Nyquist - Boone Jenner - Liam Foudy Eric Robinson - Riley Nash - Emil Bemstrom Zach Werenski - Seth Jones Vladislav Gavrikov - David Savard Ryan Murray - Dean Kukan Spares: Scott Harrington - Markus Nutivaara Joonas Korpisalo Elvis Merzlikins No changes from Sunday night, which makes sense the team played as expected and did it well.
