Seattle Kraken vs New York Rangers Game Analysis — Sunday, December 8, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Seattle Kraken won despite being outshot 37–22. New York Rangers generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Seattle Kraken scored on 31.8% of its shots, compared with 13.5% for New York Rangers. 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.
Seattle Kraken converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); New York Rangers converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%). Power-play goal totals were level, so the difference in the final score came from other scoring situations.
New York Rangers 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.
