TORONTO — Jack Roslovic and Eric Robinson scored for Columbus and Jet Greaves stopped 46 shots in his NHL debut, but the Blue Jackets fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Zach Aston-Reese scored, Alexander Kerfoot and Auston Mathews also scored for Toronto. Sam Lafferty finished with two assists.
Netminder Joseph Woll stopped 24 shots in the win.
Woll was recalled Toronto's American Hockey League affiliate on an emergency basis after Matt Murray left with a head injury during Sunday' loss to Detroit.
Toronto got on the board first nearly five minutes into the first period when Aston-Reese beat Greaves for his ninth.

The Blue Jackets responded off the rush to tie things up when Roslovic snapped his 11th of the year.
Kerfoot scored his ninth goal midway through the second to put Toronto ahead after Greaves made a terrific stop on Nick Abruzzese.
Nine minutes into the third, Aston-Reese scored his second of the game when his tip-in got past Greaves for a 3-1 lead.
Robinson got Columbus back to within one with a shot that beat Woll upstairs from a tight angle.
But Matthews finished things off with an empty netter to ice the game.
