St. Louis Blues vs Edmonton Oilers Game Analysis — Saturday, December 7, 2024

By Hockey in 60

Edmonton Oilers won despite being outshot 31–21. St. Louis Blues generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Edmonton Oilers scored on 19.0% of its shots, compared with 6.5% for St. Louis Blues. Those are team scoring rates, not goalie save percentages; empty-net goals can affect them. The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.

St. Louis Blues converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); Edmonton Oilers converted 1 of 1 power plays (100.0%). Power-play goal totals were level, so the difference in the final score came from other scoring situations.

Edmonton Oilers won 56.9% 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.
