COLUMBUS, Ohio (Interstat) — Two teams seeking consistency will meet when the Vegas Golden Knights visit the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena on Saturday night. The Golden Knights (14-15-0) arrive after a 5-4 shootout loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday, a game in which they squandered a third-period lead. Vegas has alternated wins and losses over its last five contests. The Blue Jackets (13-17-0) are looking to halt a three-game skid, most recently a 4-1 defeat to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday. Vegas will lean on forward Mitchell Marner, who has been a bright spot. He tallied a goal and an assist against the Islanders, giving him four points (one goal, three assists) in his last five games. His playmaking will be central against a Columbus team that has allowed 19 goals during its losing streak. For Columbus, forward Dmitri Voronkov has provided sporadic offense. He scored the lone goal in the loss to Carolina and has recorded three points (two goals, one assist) in his last four outings. His physical presence will be tested against a Vegas squad that has shown resilience on the road, going 3-2-0 in its last five away games. The Golden Knights have struggled to find a sustained rhythm this season, while the Blue Jackets have been plagued by defensive lapses. Columbus has earned just one regulation win in its last ten games (3-5-2). This matchup is the first of two meetings between the clubs this season. Vegas will embark on a four-game homestand after this contest, while Columbus begins a three-game road trip on Dec. 20. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
