Tampa Bay Lightning vs Pittsburgh Penguins Game Analysis — Sunday, January 12, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Tampa Bay Lightning won despite being outshot 33–19. Pittsburgh Penguins generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Tampa Bay Lightning scored on 26.3% of its shots, compared with 6.1% for Pittsburgh Penguins. 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.
Tampa Bay Lightning had no power-play opportunities; Pittsburgh Penguins converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%). Tampa Bay Lightning 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.
