Tampa Bay Lightning vs Calgary Flames Game Analysis — Thursday, December 12, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Tampa Bay Lightning paired the victory with a 26–22 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 54.2% 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.
Tampa Bay Lightning converted 3 of 3 power plays (100.0%); Calgary Flames had no power-play opportunities. The 3-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 5-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
Tampa Bay Lightning 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.
