Montreal Canadiens vs Columbus Blue Jackets Game Analysis — Wednesday, November 27, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Montreal Canadiens won despite being outshot 24–23. Columbus Blue Jackets generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Montreal Canadiens scored on 17.4% of its shots, compared with 12.5% for Columbus Blue Jackets. 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.
Montreal Canadiens converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); Columbus Blue Jackets converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge matched the 1-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
