Nashville Predators vs New Jersey Devils Game Analysis — Monday, November 25, 2024

By Hockey in 60

New Jersey Devils paired the victory with a 46–22 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 67.6% of the two teams’ combined shots. It recorded 2.1 times as many shots on target, a substantial volume advantage alongside the win. Shot totals alone do not show the quality of those chances or how the balance changed while either team was protecting a lead.

Nashville Predators converted 0 of 5 power plays (0.0%); New Jersey Devils converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 3-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.

New Jersey Devils won 61.1% 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.
