Toronto started slow and let Columbus dictate the pace of play, but then put the pedal down in the third for a 5-0 shutout win.

William Nylander and Nick Robertson each scored twice, Anthony Stolarz made 27 saves and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5-0 on Saturday night for their fourth straight victory.

After scoring off Merzlikins’ turnover in the first, Robertson made it 2-0 in the second after Werenski had the puck knocked behind him coming out of his Columbus zone. Robertson got to it uncontested, drifted toward the net in the right circle and ripped a wrist shot into the far side of the net against Merzlikins.
