|
| |  | TORONTO: LAST SEASON: 38-6-8, 84 points, finished 12th in the East and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Randy Carlyle, fifth season with the Leafs, 343-244-77.
ADDED: RW Matt Frattin, C Leo Komarov, D Roman Polak, D Stephane Robidas, C Mike Santorelli.
LOST: C Dave Bolland, D Tim Gleason, D Carl Gunnerson, C Jay McClement, RW Nikolai Kulemin, LW Mason Raymond.
PLAYER TO WATCH: David Clarkson. The right winger's first season with his boyhood team was one he'd rather forget. Clarkson had with 11 points (five goals and six assists) in 60 games with a minus-14 rating after agreeing to a seven-year, $36.75 million deal with Toronto.
OUTLOOK: The hirings of Brendan Shanahan as team president, Kyle Dubas as the assistant general manager and the added emphasis of analytics seem to indicate a new day for the Leafs. But much of the team that lost 12 of their final 14 games last season has returned. Coupled with the fact that the Leafs are in a division with 2013-14 playoff teams in Boston, Tampa Bay, Montreal and Detroit, it's hard to envision a scenario in which Toronto shows enough improvement to contend for a postseason berth in 2014-15. | | COLUMBUS: LAST SEASON: 43-32-7, 93 points. Eliminated in first round of playoffs by Pittsburgh in 6 games.
COACH: Todd Richards, fourth season with the Blue Jackets, 85-70-16; 5th overall in NHL.
ADDED: LW Scott Hartnell, RW Jerry D'Amigo, RW Brian Gibbons.
LOST: LW R.J. Umberger, C Derek MacKenzie, RW Jack Skille.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Brandon Dubinsky. With two of the team's top centers unavailable (Ryan Johansen, holdout; Boone Jenner, broken hand), the fiery 28-year-old's role only grows bigger. He was already the heart and soul of a team that doesn't have an official captain, even though he would seem the likely choice. Coming off a year in which he had 16 goals and 34 assists and continually came up big late in games, he'll be counted on to provide even more points and leadership.
OUTLOOK: If the contract dispute between Johansen and the club isn't resolved soon, and with Jenner and Nathan Horton (bad back) out for the foreseeable future, the Blue Jackets may have to win a lot of 1-0 and 2-1 games in which G Sergei Bobrovsky stands on his head. Also, several young players (most likely Alexander Wennberg and Simon Hjalmarsson) may have to be gangbusters right from the outset to kill time until the club's at full strength. |

*Maple Leafs-Blue Jackets Preview* ==================================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Toronto (4-4-1) at Columbus (4-5-0), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The banged-up Columbus Blue Jackets were having enough trouble keeping the puck out of their own net, and as might be expected, it got no better in their first game without Sergei Bobrovsky.
The injury-depleted team's next opportunity to correct things without its sidelined goaltender - among others - comes Friday night at home against a Toronto Maple Leafs club coming off its most dominant effort of the season.
After Tuesday's 5-2 home loss to Ottawa, Columbus (4-5-0) has allowed 18 goals in four games, a 1-3-0 stretch that has erased a more promising start to the season.
Bobrovsky sat out with a broken finger suffered in practice Monday and will miss at least a week, but the injury problems go far deeper.
Center Artem Anisimov left the game in the second period after a hit to the head and is day to day with a concussion. Defenseman James Wisniewski broke a finger in the third, landed on injured reserve Thursday and will miss at least a week. Center Mark Letestu was also placed on IR with a groin injury and is expected to miss at least two weeks.
Nick Foligno (neck) didn't  his former team and is day to day, while Boone Jenner, Brandon Dubinsky, Nathan Horton and Matt Calvert have also been sidelined.
"Whether I've done something or someone's done something to the hockey gods, I've never seen any like this," coach Todd Richards said. "It seems like every time we play a game somebody is getting hurt. At least that's what it feels like right now."
The impact has been felt on special teams. After beginning the season by killing off all 11 short-handed situations, the Blue Jackets have killed 11 of 17 (64.7 percent) in the last four games.
Curtis McElhinney, just back from a neck injury, made 29 saves Tuesday. He's 0-1-0 with a 4.83 goals-against average in two games this season, while recently recalled Anton Forsberg awaits his NHL debut.
On a positive note, Ryan Johansen recorded an assist to extend his season-opening point streak to nine games with five goals and seven assists.
Toronto (4-4-1) had less to worry about after Tuesday's 4-0 home win over Buffalo. The Maple Leafs outshot the Sabres 37-10, the Buffalo mark being the lowest in a game since Vancouver had 10 in 2008-09. It matched a franchise low in shots faced for Toronto.
Jonathan Bernier earned the shutout after posting a 3.38 GAA though his first six games.
In addition to the stellar defensive effort, Toronto broke through on the power play after going 0 for 19 over its previous five games. Tyler Bozak's second-period goal opened the scoring and snapped the special-teams drought.
"You just got to stick with it," forward Phil Kessel said. "I thought we stuck with it, and then eventually it breaks and we were able to get a couple goals after that."
Bozak and Kessel had a goal and an assist apiece and Rielly added two assists. Kessel has three goals and two assists in the past three games.
Columbus swept last season's three-game series with a 13-3 scoring advantage. Johansen had three goals and an assist, and Foligno totaled a goal and four assists.
The Blue Jackets recalled forwards Brian Gibbons and Sean Collins from Springfield of the AHL to fill out their patchwork roster.
