COLUMBUS PROSPECTS BEAT MINNESOTA 3-1

 

Traverse City, Michigan – The Columbus Blue Jackets improved their record to 2-1 at the 2011 Traverse City Prospect Tournament beating the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Tuesday night.  The Blue Jackets received goals from Mike Thomas, Michael Chaput and Tyler Johnson, while goaltender Paul Dainton turned aside 26 of the 27 shots he faced.

“This was a very tough win tonight,” said Springfield head coach Rob Riley, who along with assistant coaches Brad Larsen and Nolan Pratt, is leading the Blue Jackets team behind the bench during the tournament.  “Dainton was solid in goal, as were Theo Ruth, Dalton Prout, David Savard and Cody Goloubef on defense.  This was really a night led by team defense and strong penalty killing.”

The Blue Jackets were a perfect 5-5 on the penalty kill for the evening, and overall for the tournament, Columbus has successfully defended 12 of 13 shorthanded situations.

The Blue Jackets gained momentum quickly in this contest as Thomas scored just 54-seconds into the first period giving Columbus an early 1-0 lead.  The Blue Jackets took a one-goal cushion into the first intermission as Dainton stopped all eight first period shots he faced. 

Minnesota would even the score at 1-1 just 3:19 into the second period, but Columbus regained a one-goal advantage at 17:43 of the middle frame when Chaput scored his first goal of the tournament. 

Late in the third period, Johnson added an insurance goal for the Blue Jackets giving Columbus a 3-1 win.
