Last night, one of the most confusing but hilarious moments happened between Columbus Blue Jackets' Elvis Merzļikins and Toronto Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews. Seven minutes into the first period, Merzļikins and Matthews both lost their sticks at the same time,

Dante Fabbro(4), and Kirill Marchenko(20) scored the goals for Columbus, and goaltender Elvis Merzļikins was phenomenal, stopping 31 of 33 Kings shots in the win. This was a typical grind-it-out type of game.

The Blue Jackets jumped up by three goals, which was too much for the struggling Sharks. The Jackets would put away San Jose 4-1.

TORONTO - Adam Fantilli registered his first career hat trick and Elvis Merzlikins made 28 saves as the Columbus Blue Jackets thumped the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 on Wednesday.
