Vegas at Columbus

December 13, 2025

7:00 PM Eastern

Vegas has won five of six, but now it is playing its fifth road game in nine days, and the last three went into overtime or a shootout. Jet Greaves will be in the net for Columbus, and he is 7-7-5 with a 2.73 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. He hasn't gotten a lot of support from his skaters in the offensive zone lately. Greaves has allowed only six goals on his past 91 shots. Columbus is only three points back of a wild-card spot, and a defenseman, Zach Werenski, leads the team in scoring with 32 points. This is the first meeting this season after they split two meetings in 2024-25. The Golden Knights could be wearing down after this rough stretch in the schedule. Take the Blue Jackets on the puckline.
