By Hockey in 60
Detroit Red Wings paired the victory with a 31–21 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 59.6% of the two teams’ combined shots.

Detroit Red Wings converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Buffalo Sabres 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.
Detroit Red Wings won 55.6% 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.
