COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Steve Mason made 20 saves Saturday night for his third NHL shutout and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat Philadelphia 3-0.

Jan Hejda, Andrew Murray and Manny Malhotra scored for the Blue Jackets, who won for the first time in four games.

Antero Niittymaki made 30 saves for the Flyers, who are 0-2 thus far on a six-game road trip -- and lost for the first time ever to Columbus.
