Recap: The Golden Knights were looking to wrap up their road trip with a victory in Columbus over the Blue Jackets. Columbus jumped out first with a goal seven minutes into the opening frame. After twenty minutes the home team held a 1-0 edge.

Immediately in the middle frame, the Golden Knights were awarded a power play opportunity which Pavel Dorofeyev took advantage of. Dorofeyev tied the game, scoring his 13th goal of the season. The game was locked in a 1-1 tie after two periods of action.

Five minutes into the final period the Blue Jackets regained their one goal lead. The Golden Knights answered right back with a goal from defenseman Ben Hutton. Late in the period, Brayden McNabb snapped the tie and gave Vegas a 3-2 advantage. Vegas fought off a late 6-on-4 to complete their victory.

The Golden Knights record improves to 16-6-9 defeating the Blue Jackets 3-2 in Columbus. Next up, Vegas will travel home and prepare for their next game on Wednesday. Puck drop against the New Jersey Devils is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: The Golden Knights looked a lot like a team at the end of a road trip, essentially out of gas and trying to hang on. Somehow though, they battled their way through, without playing well for most of the game, and defeated a Columbus team that can’t seem to get out of its own way. The road trip ends with an incredible 4-0-1, but the play to get them there was no where near as impressive. (Analysis by Ken)

One disappointment from this game, Mark Stone's streak of recording a point in every game is unfortunately over.

His streak of VGK recording a point in every game he plays (except one) continues.

VGK are having a bit of a tough time getting decent stretches of possession early in this game.
