Obviously Adam has been here a little less, but he¡¯s made a big impact in that locker room,¡± Quinn said.¡°Zucc¡¯s been here for a long time and so has Hayesy, their personalities can really take over a locker room, so not only do we lose what they give us on the ice, you¡¯re also talking about a locker room presence and guys who are highly respected and highly liked, not only by the players, but the coaches.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ¡ª The Toronto Maple Leafs looked like a well-rested team coming off a five-day holiday break. They were fast and opportunistic in handling the Columbus Blue Jackets, who were playing the second night of a back-to-back.John Tavares scored two goals, and backup goalie Garret Sparks had 27 saves to lift the streaking Maple Leafs over Columbus 4-2 on Friday night.¡°Sometimes after a few days you can feel a little flat http://www.officialredwings.com/authentic-adidas-mike-green- jersey , just out of rhythm and just timing and everything, so I thought overall we played a pretty solid game,¡± Tavares said. ¡°Sparky was solid and made some big saves when we needed him to, our penalty kill, I thought, was really sharp, so it was good to start the way we did and build on it and not give them a whole lot.¡±Tavares¡¯ two first-period goals nicely set up a return to Toronto on Saturday, when he will face his former team, the New York Islanders. He played there for nine seasons before joining his hometown Maple Leafs in a seven-year, $77 million deal last summer.Tavares¡¯ linemate, Mitch Marner, had a goal and assisted on both his tallies, and Frederik Gauthier also scored to power the Maple Leafs to their fifth straight win, matching the longest streak of the season.

But some of our chances, especially from our back end, were shot wide.¡±Toronto took advantage of a power play early in the game when a shot by Nazem Kadri from slot was deflected in off Tavares¡¯ skate . Foligno tied it up shortly afterward when he snapped a shot between Sparks¡¯ pads from the right circle.Tavares second goal in the first period didn¡¯t require puck luck.

Panarin got his 100th NHL goal with 1:28 left in the game.Columbus came up empty on a pair of power plays and has scored just once in 33 attempts with a man-advantage in the last 11 games.NOTES: Tavares¡¯ 26 goals lead the team.
