Utah Mammoth vs Minnesota Wild Game Analysis — Friday, December 20, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Utah Mammoth won despite being outshot 29–18. Minnesota Wild generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Utah Mammoth scored on 11.1% of its shots, compared with 3.4% for Minnesota Wild. 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.
Utah Mammoth converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%); Minnesota Wild converted 0 of 5 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge matched the 1-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
Utah Mammoth won 63% 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.
