Ottawa Senators vs Winnipeg Jets Game Analysis — Saturday, December 28, 2024
By Hockey in 60
Winnipeg Jets won despite being outshot 35–23. Ottawa Senators generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Winnipeg Jets scored on 17.4% of its shots, compared with 5.7% for Ottawa Senators. 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 2 of 4 power plays (50.0%); Winnipeg Jets converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%). Winnipeg Jets overcame a 1-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.
Ottawa Senators won 60.9% 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.
