Philadelphia Flyers vs Minnesota Wild Game Analysis — Saturday, December 14, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Both teams recorded 22 shots on goal, so shot volume does not explain Minnesota Wild’s advantage. The difference lay in the number of those shots that became goals, rather than in the number reaching the net. A box score alone cannot determine whether that reflected better chances, finishing or goaltending.
Philadelphia Flyers converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Minnesota Wild converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
Philadelphia Flyers won 56.7% 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.
