Ottawa Senators vs Detroit Red Wings Game Analysis — Tuesday, January 7, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Both teams recorded 33 shots on goal, so shot volume does not explain Detroit Red Wings’s advantage. The difference lay in the number of those shots that became goals, rather than in the number reaching the net. A box score alone cannot determine whether that reflected better chances, finishing or goaltending.
Ottawa Senators converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); Detroit Red Wings converted 2 of 3 power plays (66.7%). The 1-goal net power-play edge matched the 1-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
Detroit Red Wings won 55.6% 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.
