Montreal Canadiens vs Washington Capitals Game Analysis — Friday, January 10, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Montreal Canadiens paired the victory with a 30–17 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 63.8% of the two teams’ combined shots. It recorded 1.8 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.
Montreal Canadiens converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Washington Capitals converted 1 of 4 power plays (25.0%). Montreal Canadiens 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.
Washington Capitals won 51% of faceoffs yet was outshot 30–17. The faceoff advantage was not accompanied by a shot-volume advantage in the full-game totals. Winning a draw can provide an initial chance to control the puck, but it does not establish sustained possession or attacking pressure; zone entries, puck recovery and chance-quality data would be needed to explain the disconnect.
