Columbus Blue Jackets vs Boston Bruins Game Analysis — Monday, November 18, 2024

By Hockey in 60

Columbus Blue Jackets won despite being outshot 29–28. Boston Bruins generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Columbus Blue Jackets scored on 17.9% of its shots, compared with 3.4% for Boston Bruins. 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.

Columbus Blue Jackets converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); Boston Bruins converted 1 of 6 power plays (16.7%). Columbus Blue Jackets overcame a 1-goal disadvantage in power-play scoring, so its winning edge came from goals recorded outside the power play. Those goals can include even-strength, shorthanded and empty-net situations.
