New Jersey Devils vs Columbus Blue Jackets Game Analysis — Thursday, December 19, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Columbus Blue Jackets won despite being outshot 42–20. New Jersey Devils generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Columbus Blue Jackets scored on 20.0% of its shots, compared with 4.8% for New Jersey Devils. 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.
New Jersey Devils converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Columbus Blue Jackets converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of 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.
