Chicago Blackhawks vs Minnesota Wild Game Analysis — Monday, December 23, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Minnesota Wild won despite being outshot 31–27. Chicago Blackhawks generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Minnesota Wild scored on 14.8% of its shots, compared with 9.7% for Chicago Blackhawks. 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.
Chicago Blackhawks had no power-play opportunities; Minnesota Wild converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
