St. Louis Blues vs Carolina Hurricanes Game Analysis — Sunday, November 17, 2024

By Hockey in 60

Carolina Hurricanes won despite being outshot 30–24. St. Louis Blues generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Carolina Hurricanes scored on 16.7% of its shots, compared with 3.3% for St. Louis Blues. Those are team scoring rates, not goalie save percentages; empty-net goals can affect them. The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.

St. Louis Blues converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Carolina Hurricanes converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 3-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.

Carolina Hurricanes won 63.5% of faceoffs. That is a clear edge in restarts, but faceoff percentage should not be treated as a possession percentage: the totals do not show where the draws occurred or what happened immediately afterwards.
