Edmonton Oilers vs Montreal Canadiens Game Analysis — Monday, November 18, 2024

By Hockey in 60

Montreal Canadiens won despite being outshot 30–25. Edmonton Oilers generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Montreal Canadiens scored on 12.0% of its shots, compared with 0.0% for Edmonton Oilers. 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.

Edmonton Oilers converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Montreal Canadiens converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.

Edmonton Oilers won 56.4% 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.
