Stefan Legein, the 37th overall pick by the Jackets in the 2007 Entry Draft, scored the only goal for Columbus, with Matt Calvert (drafted 127th overall in 2008) picking up an assist.

The young Jackets led 1-0 after two periods but couldn't hold the lead as the Wild prospects cashed in on a man advantage to tie the game before adding an eventual winner.
