Maple Leafs' Nikita Zaitsev: Gets on board twice

Zaitsev scored his fourth goal of the season and added an assist in a 5-2 win over Columbus on Wednesday.

Analysis:

The blueliner also skated to a plus-3 in the contest, which was a rare feat for a guy who now sits with a (still horrible) minus-19 this season. Despite that poor mark, Zaitsev is up to 32 points in 72 games; he continues to look increasingly comfortable at the NHL level as a 25-year-old rookie.
