"It took all of two games in the tournament to see our first shootout. Columbus took this one from Minnesota, 2-0 in the shootout to win the game, 4-3.

Jackets goalie Dan LaCosta stopped all four Wild shooters, including Morten Madsen, Cal Clutterbuck, Tyler Cuma and Chris Culligan. Jakub Voracek and Matt Calvert beat Wild goalie Cody St. Jacques for the shootout goals.

Voracek was Columbus' first shooter and he looked cool, calm and collected. He went right down the center and with a no frills attached shot beat St. Jacques with a low shot just inside the left post. It looks as though Voracek has the entire package, at least from what I can tell from one game in a prospects tournament, so take that for what it's worth.

Calvert had the highlight goal to cap the shootout and a great game by smoking a shot into the top right corner. During the overtime, Columbus killed off tripping penalty on Grant ****some. The six penalty killers the Jackets used were Brian McGuirk, Steve Delisle, Nick Holden, Rob Page, Erik Felde and Brent Regner."

Way to go Matt!

From Puck-rakers (Columbus Dispatch blog):

Winger Matt Calvert has made a huge impression with the Blue Jackets front office. He was phenomenal at development camp and the prospect's tournament. Could be a steal of a fifth-round pick (No. 127) in this year's draft. Look for Calvert to have a huge season with the Brandon Wheat Kings, his second year of major junior.
