There will likely be a lot of public action on Vegas on Tuesday night even though they are road favorites at Columbus. The Golden Knights will try to build on their 3 point deficit in the Western Conference.
Do the Blue Jackets have any value on Tuesday? Yes, they are at home, but Columbus also comes into this tilt having lost four in a row. The Blue Jackets are just 3-4-1 at Nationwide Arena on the year.
Vegas Golden Knights
Is the price on Vegas too high in this one at -140? The Golden Knights just wrapped up a home stand in which they went only 1-1-2 on. That includes losing back to back games and in OT.
Vegas is definitely in a rut. Their consecutive losses were 4-5 to Montreal and 3-4 to Winnipeg both in overtime. What’s worse is that the Golden Knights were -245 and -230 respectively in those games.
Obviously Vegas has been giving up some easy goals as of late. The good thing for them is that Columbus may be worse on defense recently with 18 goals surrendered the last 4. Tuesday’s O/U is 6, which may be low.

Vegas is a solid 4-2 on the road this season. That being said, their goaltending has been suspect as of late. Marc-Andre Fleury sat on Saturday vs. the Jets so he should be refreshed for the tilt with Columbus.
Being fresh is one thing, being good is another. Fleury gave up 5 goals last Thursday to Montreal and surrendered 4 goals on 26 shots two games prior to the Avalanche.
Columbus Blue Jackets
Vegas hasn’t exactly been tearing up the league. The good thing for Gerard Gallant’s team is that Columbus is in a free fall having lost 4 in a row. The Blue Jackets have put up some good offensive numbers, but their defense is a sieve right now.
Eight straight opponents have scored at least 3 goals vs. the Blue Jackets. That includes Columbus allowing 18 goals during their current 4-game skid.
Joonas Korpisalo starts on Tuesday, trying to improve on his measly .890 save percentage on the season. Korpisalo has a record of just 5-5-1 on the year but that includes three straight losses.

There are a few reasons to like Columbus in this one – beyond being at home. The Blue Jackets have launched the 10th most SOG per game in the league this year at 32.8. Columbus has also netted 3 goals in 4 of the last 6 games.
One thing to note about Columbus is that they’ve also only scored a single goal in their last two home games combined. The Blue Jackets don’t have much of a home ice advantage, going 3-4-1 at Nationwide this season.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Golden Knights are 4-1 last 5 as a road favorite
- Golden Knights are 0-4 last 4 overall
- Blue Jackets are 3-7 last 10 home games
