Looking to end an overall productive homestand on a high, the Vegas Golden Knights instead dropped three straight after dropping a 3-0 decision to the resurgent Blue Jackets.
And, as has been the case in recent games, the Knights allowed the first goal of the game in the first period for the sixth consecutive game with Emil Bemstrom beating from Marc-Andre Fleury from the left circle with a deadly one-timer.
The Knights outshot the Blue Jackets 11-2 in the second period but they came up against a hot goaltender in Elvis Merzlikins, who was stopping very shot that was flung in his direction.
