Seattle Kraken vs Buffalo Sabres Game Analysis — Saturday, January 11, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Seattle Kraken won despite being outshot 35–29. Buffalo Sabres generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Seattle Kraken scored on 20.7% of its shots, compared with 5.7% for Buffalo Sabres. 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.
Seattle Kraken converted 1 of 4 power plays (25.0%); Buffalo Sabres converted 1 of 5 power plays (20.0%). Power-play goal totals were level, so the difference in the final score came from other scoring situations.
Seattle Kraken won 62.5% 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.
