Minnesota Wild vs Anaheim Ducks Game Analysis — Friday, December 6, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Minnesota Wild paired the victory with a 33–27 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 55.0% 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.
Minnesota Wild converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%); Anaheim Ducks converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). The 1-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.
Minnesota Wild won 58.2% 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.
