Tampa Bay Lightning vs New Jersey Devils Game Analysis — Saturday, January 11, 2025

By Hockey in 60

New Jersey Devils paired the victory with a 26–25 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 51.0% 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.

Tampa Bay Lightning converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); New Jersey Devils converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%). 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.

Tampa Bay Lightning won 54.4% of faceoffs yet was outshot 26–25. 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.
