Minnesota Wild vs Edmonton Oilers Game Analysis — Thursday, November 21, 2024

By Hockey in 60

Minnesota Wild won despite being outshot 31–26. Edmonton Oilers generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Minnesota Wild scored on 19.2% of its shots, compared with 9.7% 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.

Minnesota Wild converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Edmonton Oilers 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 57.1% 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.
