Andersen makes 37 saves, Hyman scores winner as Leafs down Blue Jackets 4-2
TORONTO — Frederik Andersen held the fort long enough for his teammates to wake up from their West Coast hangover.
The Maple Leafs goalie made 37 saves, Zach Hyman scored the go-ahead goal with less than five minutes to go in regulation and Toronto overcame a sluggish start to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 on Monday.
The victory stretched the Leafs’ win streak to four games, but wasn’t pretty early as the visitors built a 2-0 lead after a dominant opening 20 minutes.
“We reset in the first intermission,” Andersen said. “None of us were too happy with our effort … we know we can play a lot better.
