Dallas Stars vs Ottawa Senators Game Analysis — Sunday, January 12, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Ottawa Senators paired the victory with a 27–26 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 50.9% 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 1 of 4 power plays (25.0%); Ottawa Senators converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). Ottawa Senators 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.
Ottawa Senators won 58.2% 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.
