COLUMBUS, Ohio – Jared Boll scored his first NHL goal and Pascal Leclaire picked up his second shutout in as many games to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets past the Phoenix Coyotes 3-0 on Wednesday night.

Jason Chimera added a goal and two assists, Manny Malhotra had a goal and an assist and Jan Hejda had two assists for the Blue Jackets, who are 2-0 at home – both Leclaire shutouts.

All of the Columbus points came from the third and fourth lines, which were notoriously unproductive in the franchise’s first six seasons.

Phoenix goaltender David Aebischer, who dominated the Blue Jackets while he was with Colorado, came in with a 7-0-0 career mark, three shutouts and a 0.85 goals-against average against Columbus.

Leclaire, who shut out defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim 4-0 in the Blue Jackets’ season opener, was seldom tested by the Coyotes. He gloved a high slap shot on the power play by Ed Jovanovski in the second period and moments later caught a wrister from the blue line by Freddy Meyer.

Leclaire finished with 32 saves, weathering six Phoenix power plays. He had just one shutout in his first 59 NHL games, now has two in less than a week.
