Montreal Canadiens vs Winnipeg Jets Game Analysis — Saturday, December 14, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Winnipeg Jets won despite being outshot 28–27. Montreal Canadiens generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Winnipeg Jets scored on 14.8% of its shots, compared with 7.1% for Montreal Canadiens. 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.
Montreal Canadiens converted 0 of 4 power plays (0.0%); Winnipeg Jets converted 2 of 6 power plays (33.3%). The 2-goal net power-play edge matched the 2-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
