Minnesota Wild vs Dallas Stars Game Analysis — Friday, December 27, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Minnesota Wild won despite being outshot 29–18. Dallas Stars generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Minnesota Wild scored on 16.7% of its shots, compared with 6.9% for Dallas Stars. Those are team scoring rates, not goalie save percentages; empty-net goals can affect them.

Minnesota Wild converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Dallas Stars 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.
