After scoring 14 goals in 11 playoff games with the OHL's Barrie Colts, forward Justin Scott was rewarded with a three-year entry-level contract by the Columbus Blue Jackets, general manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced Friday.

The 20-year-old center recorded 28 goals and a career-high 37 assists in 67 regular-season games.

Scott's will look to continue his incredible playoffs on Thursday, when the Colts host the Niagara Icedogs to begin the Eastern Conference Finals.
