Boston Bruins vs Chicago Blackhawks Game Analysis — Wednesday, December 4, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Boston Bruins paired the victory with a 27–22 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 55.1% 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.
Boston Bruins converted 0 of 5 power plays (0.0%); Chicago Blackhawks converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
Boston Bruins won 62.5% 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.
