St. Louis Blues vs Minnesota Wild Game Analysis — Tuesday, January 7, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Minnesota Wild won despite being outshot 33–26. St. Louis Blues generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Minnesota Wild scored on 23.1% of its shots, compared with 12.1% for St. Louis Blues. 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.
St. Louis Blues converted 1 of 1 power plays (100.0%); Minnesota Wild had no power-play opportunities. Minnesota Wild 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.
St. Louis Blues won 57.1% 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.
