By Hockey in 60
Columbus Blue Jackets won despite being outshot 36–32. Carolina Hurricanes generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Because the game was settled in a shootout, the final score includes a deciding goal that is not a regulation or overtime shot. The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.
Carolina Hurricanes converted 1 of 4 power plays (25.0%); Columbus Blue Jackets converted 1 of 5 power plays (20.0%). Power-play goal totals were level, so the difference in the final score came from other scoring situations and the shootout decision.
Carolina Hurricanes won 60.9% 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.
