Colorado Avalanche vs Chicago Blackhawks Game Analysis — Wednesday, January 8, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Chicago Blackhawks won despite being outshot 36–20. Colorado Avalanche generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Chicago Blackhawks scored on 15.0% of its shots, compared with 2.8% for Colorado Avalanche. 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.
Colorado Avalanche converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); Chicago Blackhawks converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
Chicago Blackhawks 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.
