Calgary Flames vs Pittsburgh Penguins Game Analysis — Saturday, November 30, 2024

By Hockey in 60

Pittsburgh Penguins paired the victory with a 43–32 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 57.3% of the two teams’ combined shots. That gives the result support beyond the scoreline: the winning side also put more attempts on target. Shot totals alone do not show the quality of those chances or how the balance changed while either team was protecting a lead.

Calgary Flames converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Pittsburgh Penguins converted 3 of 5 power plays (60.0%). The 3-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 4-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
