Ottawa Senators vs Vancouver Canucks Game Analysis — Saturday, December 21, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Ottawa Senators won despite being outshot 25–22. Vancouver Canucks generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Ottawa Senators scored on 22.7% of its shots, compared with 16.0% for Vancouver Canucks. 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.
Ottawa Senators converted 0 of 5 power plays (0.0%); Vancouver Canucks 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.
Ottawa Senators won 59.6% 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.
