Nashville Predators vs Calgary Flames Game Analysis — Saturday, January 4, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Nashville Predators won despite being outshot 32–28. Calgary Flames generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Nashville Predators scored on 14.3% of its shots, compared with 3.1% for Calgary Flames. 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.
Nashville Predators converted 2 of 2 power plays (100.0%); Calgary Flames converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). The 2-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 3-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
