Edmonton Oilers vs Pittsburgh Penguins Game Analysis — Thursday, January 9, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Pittsburgh Penguins won despite being outshot 43–26. Edmonton Oilers generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Pittsburgh Penguins scored on 19.2% of its shots, compared with 7.0% for Edmonton Oilers. 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.
Edmonton Oilers converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%); Pittsburgh Penguins converted 1 of 1 power plays (100.0%). Power-play goal totals were level, so the difference in the final score came from other scoring situations.
Edmonton Oilers won 55.2% 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.
