Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators Game Analysis — Saturday, December 14, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Ottawa Senators paired the victory with a 31–27 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 53.4% 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.
Pittsburgh Penguins had no power-play opportunities; Ottawa Senators 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.
Pittsburgh Penguins won 54% of faceoffs yet was outshot 31–27. The faceoff advantage was not accompanied by a shot-volume advantage in the full-game totals. Winning a draw can provide an initial chance to control the puck, but it does not establish sustained possession or attacking pressure; zone entries, puck recovery and chance-quality data would be needed to explain the disconnect.
