Boston Bruins vs Florida Panthers Game Analysis — Saturday, January 11, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Boston Bruins won despite being outshot 43–18. Florida Panthers generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Boston Bruins scored on 22.2% of its shots, compared with 7.0% for Florida Panthers. 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.

Boston Bruins converted 2 of 5 power plays (40.0%); Florida Panthers converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%). 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.

Florida Panthers won 56.9% 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.
