Columbus Blue Jackets vs Chicago Blackhawks Game Analysis — Sunday, December 1, 2024

By Hockey in 60

Columbus Blue Jackets paired the victory with a 36–31 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 53.7% 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.

Columbus Blue Jackets converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); Chicago Blackhawks converted 3 of 6 power plays (50.0%). Columbus Blue Jackets overcame a 3-goal disadvantage in power-play scoring, so its winning edge came from goals recorded outside the power play. Those goals can include even-strength, shorthanded and empty-net situations.

Columbus Blue Jackets won 55.4% 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.
