COLUMBUS - The Toronto Maple Leafs hope to take advantage of the injury-riddled Blue Jackets tonight in Columbus as the clubs get set to meet at Nationwide Arena. The Leafs won for the second time in three games by downing lowly Buffalo on Tuesday. Jonathan Bernier only needed to stop 10 shots to post a shutout against the Sabres, while Tyler Bozak and Phil Kessel each had a goal and an assist en route to a 4-0 home win. The 10 shots allowed set a Maple Leafs record for fewest shots yielded in a game. James van Riemsdyk and Jake Gardiner also scored and Morgan Rielly supplied two helpers for the Maple Leafs, who will try to win consecutive games tonight for the second time this season. Our expectation is to carry this on to the next one, Toronto head coach Randy Carlyle said of the win. Tonight, everything fell our way and well take it because we were in drastic need of a performance at home. While the Leafs have struggled to a 2-4-0 record at home, they are unbeaten in regulation on the road, going 2-0-1 as the guest. Columbus has been handed three straight regulation setbacks and lost each of its last two outings by 5-2 margins. The Blue Jackets are 4-5-0 this season, and the slow start has more than a little to with the clubs inability to stay healthy. The Blue Jackets have been beset by injuries in the first month of the season, and two more names were added to the list on Wednesday as defenseman James Wisniewski and center Mark Letestu were both placed on injured reserve. Wisniewski is expected to be sidelined for 1-to-2 weeks with a broken finger he suffered in Tuesdays game against Ottawa. Letestu could be out for a month with a groin injury he sustained against the Senators. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky is also out with a broken finger, while forwards Artem Anisimov (head), Matt Calvert (upper body) and Nick Foligno (stinger) have also been hurt since last weekend. Brandon Dubinsky, Nathan Horton and Boone Jenner have yet to play this season because of injuries. Foligno, however, could play tonight after missing Tuesdays loss to Ottawa. After losing 5-2 in Los Angeles on Sunday, Columbus returned home and fell to the Senators by the same margin. The score was tied at 2-2 after 40 minutes, but Ottawa scored three unanswered goals in the third to notch the victory. We just ran out of gas, Blue Jackets forward Adam Cracknell said. We lost some guys and made some mistakes. David Savard and Cam Atkinson each netted goals in the loss, while Curtis McElhinney made 29 saves in place of an injured Bobrovsky. McElhinney expects to start again tonight with Anton Forsberg serving as the backup. Columbus is 2-2-0 at home this season and has two wins in five all-time meetings with Toronto at Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets have taken three in a row and four of the past five meetings overall.

Needing a fresh long man in the bullpen, the Rays recalled right-hander Nathan Karns from Triple-A Durham and designated Bell for assignment before Sundays series finale against the New York Yankees. Bell, a three-time All-Star, was 1-1 with a 7.27 ERA in 13 appearances for the Rays after they acquiired the right-hander from Arizona in December as part of a three-team trade that also included Cincinnati.dddddddddddd Tampa Bay still owes him about $4.5 million this season. Karns was scheduled to start Sunday for Durham, so he provides protection if the Rays need more than a couple of innings from a reliever. Tampa Bay played a doubleheader Thursday in Boston and a 14-inning game Friday night at Yankee Stadium. ' ' '
