A very tight checking game in the 1st period led to a scoreless first two periods. The pace picked up a bit with Columbus pouring on some pressure in the 2nd, but couldn’t get one past Subban. The Blue Jackets came flying out of the break and scored just 40 seconds into the 3rd. Vegas started creating more offense but never could find the equalizer.

- Why not pull the goalie earlier?
- The calmness that Stastny brings to the Golden Knights lineup.
Three Stars
*** Malcolm Subban
** Sergei Bobrovsky
* Nick Foligno
VGK has turned it up a bit, but I still feel like the great chances just aren't coming. If I'm Turk, I pull Subban really early here, like maybe even 4 or 5 minutes left to try and force the issue. Be smart with when you do it, but don't wait just to wait.

With nearly half the game gone, VGK has done absolutely nothing offensively. The shot chart is downright scary. (stick tap @NatStatTrick for the graph) pic.twitter.com/n8Cv0TjSXk
