Seattle Kraken vs Detroit Red Wings Game Analysis — Sunday, January 12, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Detroit Red Wings won despite being outshot 33–23. Seattle Kraken generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Detroit Red Wings scored on 26.1% of its shots, compared with 6.1% for Seattle Kraken. 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 2 power plays (50.0%); Detroit Red Wings converted 3 of 5 power plays (60.0%). The 2-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 4-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.

Detroit Red Wings won 61.7% 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.
