Blue Jackets Team Report
(Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:17:46 PST)

The Blue Jackets can't wait much longer for goaltender Pascal Leclaire to work the rust off his game, especially with rookie Steve Mason making such a claim for the No. 1 job.

Mason pitched his second career NHL shutout—his second blanking in just three starts—in the Blue Jackets' 3-0 win over Washington on Saturday in Nationwide Arena.

The 21-year-old has dramatically outplayed Leclaire and Fredrik Norrena, who came into the season as the clear No. 1 and No. 2 goaltenders but have since slid down the pecking order.

Mason already has been named the starter for Monday's home game against the Vancouver Canucks.

Blue Jackets 3, Capitals 0:    Steve Mason is playing so well right now, he's even holding Alex Ovechkin in check.
