Seattle Kraken vs Vegas Golden Knights Game Analysis — Saturday, December 21, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Vegas Golden Knights paired the victory with a 34–23 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 59.6% 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.
Seattle Kraken converted 2 of 4 power plays (50.0%); Vegas Golden Knights converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%). Vegas Golden Knights overcame a 2-goal disadvantage in power-play scoring, so its winning edge came from goals recorded outside the power play. Those goals can include even-strength, shorthanded and empty-net situations.
Seattle Kraken won 53.8% of faceoffs yet was outshot 34–23. 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.
