The Blue Jackets were disappointed in their last game on the ice on Thursday night when the Sharks were able to finally beat the Blue Jackets. The win for the Sharks was a 3-1 victory, but it was a great win for San Jose and a bad loss for the Blue Jackets. The loss dropped the Blue Jackets to a 21-15-8 record on the year. 

When it comes to finding the back of the net the Blue Jackets have improved some with 2.66 goals a game being scored. The Blue Jackets defense has allowed only 2.70 goals a game. When it comes to the power play the Blue Jackets are not that great converting at 17% on the year, but have a decent penalty kill at 81.1% on the year.

Vegas is coming into the game here hoping to finally break their losing skid. The lowly Los Angeles Kings were able to take down the Golden Knights in their last game. When it comes to their overall record, though, the Golden Knights have posted a 24-17-6 record on the year so far and sit in a tie with Arizona for first place in the Pacific.

The offense for Vegas has been playing decent on the year scoring at a clip of 3.13 goals a game so far. The defense for Vegas has been shaky at times giving up 2.98 goals a game. The power play offense for Vegas is converting at a rate of 22.5% on the year, but the penalty kill is sitting nicely at 80.7% thus far.

    The Golden Knights have a good chance to pull off a nice win over the Blue Jackets. The offense for the Blue Jackets collapsed against the Sharks in the last game and that type of collapse could easily continue in the game here as the Golden Knights have a better defense and that will definitely help the Golden Knights against the Blue Jackets weaker offense. Final Score Prediction, Vegas Golden Knight win 3-1.
