COLUMBUS, Ohio — Rostislav Klesla celebrated a new four-year contract extension by scoring a goal midway through the third period Saturday night to push the Columbus Blue Jackets past the Minnesota Wild, 2-1 in the season opener for both teams.

Steve Mason, winner of last season's Calder Trophy as the NHL rookie of the year, finished with 32 saves — several in the final minute when the Wild had a two-man advantage.
