The shutout was the eighth of Leclaire's career.
Jared Boll scored his fourth at 3:04 of the second for Columbus' other goal, and Leclaire stopped the 21 Atlanta shots he faced for the Bile Jackets, who split a four-game home stand.
Keri Lehtonen gave up two goals on 28 shots for the Thrashers, who had a four-game winning streak snapped.
