Seattle Kraken vs New Jersey Devils Game Analysis — Friday, December 6, 2024

By Hockey in 60

New Jersey Devils paired the victory with a 36–19 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 65.5% of the two teams’ combined shots. It recorded 1.9 times as many shots on target, a substantial volume advantage alongside the win. Shot totals alone do not show the quality of those chances or how the balance changed while either team was protecting a lead.

Seattle Kraken converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); New Jersey Devils converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). New Jersey Devils overcame a 1-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.

Seattle Kraken won 51% of faceoffs yet was outshot 36–19. The faceoff advantage was not accompanied by a shot-volume advantage in the full-game totals. Winning a draw can provide an initial chance to control the puck, but it does not establish sustained possession or attacking pressure; zone entries, puck recovery and chance-quality data would be needed to explain the disconnect.
