Mason, 20, posted a 5-2-1 record with a 2.09 goals-against average, .919 save percentage and two shutouts in eight games during the month.
He is the second straight Columbus player to earn the honor as Blue Jackets center Derick Brassard was the league's top rookie in October.
Mason was recalled from the American Hockey League's Syracuse Crunch on November 4 and made 22 saves in a 5-4 win over Edmonton in his NHL debut the following day.
