Jack Campbell posted his second shutout in the past five games and his fourth in 40 appearances as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Only six goaltenders in franchise history have had more at that stage, including Lorne Chabot (10), Ed Chadwick (6), Ed Belfour (5), Bruce Gamble (5), Al Rollins (5) and Paul Bibeault (5), per NHL Public Relations.
Campbell will continue to get a heavy workload in the crease due to Petr Mrazek’s groin injury. Mrazek is expected to be sidelined for four weeks.
