Blue Jackets visit Maple Leafs seeking more success

Feb 19, 2009 - 3:45 PM Columbus (29-23-6) at Toronto (21-26-10), 7:30 p.m. EST

TORONTO (Ticker) -- Rookie goaltender Steve Mason and the Columbus Blue Jackets look to notch their sixth win in seven tries when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.

The 20-year-old Mason has become a mainstay for the surging Blue Jackets, who are making a strong bid for the first playoff berth in franchise history. They are in sixth place in the tight Western Conference with 64 points.

In his fourth straight start since returning from a brief stint on the injured reserve list with mononucleosis, Mason made 21 saves as Columbus escaped with a 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday.

A strong candidate to earn the Calder Trophy, Mason improved to 23-12-3 on the season.

Toronto has been effective on the offensive end lately, and will provide a potent test for the Blue Jackets' young prodigy.

The Maple Leafs have scored four or more goals in four of their last five games. However, their offense did not show up in Tuesday's 4-1 setback to the Buffalo Sabres.
