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, which resulted in both players picking up the wrong stick.
The Jackets weren't given much of a chance in this game, but they played a true "Team Game" to upset Cup favorite Toronto. They've now outscored the Maple Leafs 11-3 in two games this season.
Fantilli's first NHL hat trick, two-point game for Del Belluz and a big night from Merzlikins in net help Blue Jackets stun the Maple Leafs.
Adam Fantilli scored three goals for his first career hat trick, Elvis Merzlikins stopped 28 shots, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1.
