from Dana Wakiji and Art Regner of DetroitRedWings.com,

The Detroit Red Wings had the high draft picks and the home ice advantage but the Columbus Blue Jackets seemed to have the motivation.

In Tuesday night's 2018 NHL Prospect Tournament championship game, the free agent-laden Blue Jackets skated to a 7-3 victory to earn their fifth title.

Columbus passed St. Louis for most championships in the 20-year history of the tournament.

The Blue Jackets went 4-0 during the Prospect Tournament while the Red Wings finished 2-2.

Givani Smith scored twice, once on the power play, and Dennis Cholowski scored on the power play for the Wings.
