St. Louis Blues vs Tampa Bay Lightning Game Analysis — Thursday, December 19, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Tampa Bay Lightning won despite being outshot 32–18. St. Louis Blues generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Tampa Bay Lightning scored on 16.7% of its shots, compared with 3.1% for St. Louis Blues. 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.
St. Louis Blues converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); Tampa Bay Lightning converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
St. Louis Blues won 56% 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.
