Edmonton Oilers vs Boston Bruins Game Analysis — Tuesday, January 7, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Edmonton Oilers paired the victory with a 39–26 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 60.0% of the two teams’ combined shots. It recorded 1.5 times as many shots on target, a substantial volume advantage alongside the win. Shot totals alone do not show the quality of those chances or how the balance changed while either team was protecting a lead.

Edmonton Oilers converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%); Boston Bruins converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 4-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.

Edmonton Oilers won 57.4% 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.
