Golden Knights vs Blue Jackets Key Stats
Vegas have scored 80 goals in 23 games, proving to be one of the best offenses in the league. They have maintained an impressive average of over three goals scored per game. Jack Eichel and Reilly Smith have over ten goals apiece and have played a key role in the team's success.
Their defense has provided them comfort, with a solid work rate and returns and looks settled. Barring a few areas, nothing much should concern them going ahead. Vegas has conceded less than 2.5 goals per game, with the goaltenders involved making a positive impact
Columbus, meanwhile, needs more players to contribute in offense to make a bigger impact to complement Johnny Gaudreau, who has 20 goal contributions in as many games. Apart from him, no one has been involved in the build-up, leading to their struggles. Conceding over 80 goals this season, the defense needs to fare better.
Golden Knights vs Blue Jackets Betting Prediction
Vegas needs to be cautious coming into the game, due to their last few results, though they have a solid away record of seven wins in eight outings. They have a good offense to complement their defence.
Columbus, meanwhile, will need some exceptional performances from their defensive and offensive units to win this game. Having lost their last two games at home, the trend could continue.
