Traverse City Tourney

Blues 4, Blue Jackets 5

In their second game of the tournament, the Blues drop a close battle 4-5 to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Recap and Boxscore follow.

After two periods, the young Blues found themselves behind on the score sheet four goals to one. The third period found a flurry of offense for the Blues prospects, scoring three goals before ultimately losing.

T.J. Fast scored in the closing seconds of the game to make the score 5 to 4, thus building on his already awesome name.

The team played well, but their very slow start in the first was simply too much to come back from.

Columbus received a hat-trick from Matt Calvert in their winning effort.

The Blues are 1-1 in the tournament thus far, and look to rebound in their next outing.
