Dallas Stars vs Montreal Canadiens Game Analysis — Saturday, January 11, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Dallas Stars paired the victory with a 36–31 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 53.7% of the two teams’ combined shots. That gives the result support beyond the scoreline: the winning side also put more attempts on target. Shot totals alone do not show the quality of those chances or how the balance changed while either team was protecting a lead.
Dallas Stars converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Montreal Canadiens converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%). Dallas Stars overcame a 1-goal disadvantage in power-play scoring, so its winning edge came from goals recorded outside the power play and the shootout decision. Those goals can include even-strength, shorthanded and empty-net situations.
Dallas Stars won 56.1% 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.
