Nashville Predators vs Colorado Avalanche Game Analysis — Saturday, December 14, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Colorado Avalanche won despite being outshot 39–33. Nashville Predators generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Colorado Avalanche scored on 15.2% of its shots, compared with 5.1% for Nashville Predators. 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.
Nashville Predators converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Colorado Avalanche 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.
Nashville Predators won 58.7% 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.
