The Vegas Golden Knights visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Vegas comes in strong at 8-4, while Columbus is struggling at 3-5. The records suggest Vegas is the better team so far this season.
Looking at the betting odds, Vegas is favored on the moneyline at -135. This means you’d need to bet $135 to win $100 backing Vegas to win straight up. Columbus is the underdog at +114, offering a bit more payout if you think they can pull off an upset.
The spread tells a similar story. Vegas is favored by 1.5 goals at +185 odds, meaning a $100 bet would return $185 if Vegas wins by two or more goals. Columbus is getting +1.5 goals at -225, so you’d have to risk $225 to win $100 if Columbus loses by just one or wins outright.
The total is set at 6.5 goals with the under favored at -135. This suggests the oddsmakers expect a moderately high-scoring game but lean toward fewer than seven goals being scored.
Given Vegas’s better record and favored status, betting on them to win straight up looks reasonable. However, the spread is quite pricey on Vegas, so backing Columbus with the +1.5 might offer safer value if you expect a close game. The under could also be worth considering if you think both teams’ defenses will hold strong.
In summary, Vegas is the favorite but a tight game is possible. Choose your bet based on how much risk you want to take.
