By Hockey in 60
San Jose Sharks won despite being outshot 24–21. Los Angeles Kings generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. San Jose Sharks scored on 33.3% of its shots, compared with 8.3% for Los Angeles Kings. 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.
Los Angeles Kings converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); San Jose Sharks converted 2 of 6 power plays (33.3%). The 2-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 5-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
Los Angeles Kings won 55% 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.
