some good things, got involved,\u201d the 32-year-old Tavares said. \u201cI think after the first period we controlled the neutral zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ilya Samsonov stopped 30 shots for his third shutout of the season, Pierre Engvall also scored and Mitch Marner added two assists for Toronto, who remain in second place in the Atlantic Division with 72 points \u2014 11 points behind first-place Boston.<\/p>\n<p>Marner\u2019s assists extended his point streak to five games and Morgan Rielly\u2019s assist on Engvall\u2019s goal extended his point streak to three games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we played a pretty solid and patient game,\u201d Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t give up a lot and extended our lead in the third period, which is what you want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joonas Korpisalo had 41 saves for Columbus, who have lost four straight and remains last in the NHL standings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(We) were a shot away for a long time,\u201d Blue Jackets coach Brad Larsen said. \u201cWe actually had a couple of decent looks there at the end of the second and early in the third, and then they get those two quick ones on us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Maple Leafs host Columbus to finish the home-and home and the Blue Jackets are at Toronto on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<div id=\"partner-native-article-link-1-container\" class=\"ad-container
