New York Rangers vs Colorado Avalanche Game Analysis — Tuesday, January 14, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Colorado Avalanche won despite being outshot 29–26. New York Rangers generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Colorado Avalanche scored on 11.5% of its shots, compared with 6.9% for New York Rangers. 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.

New York Rangers converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Colorado Avalanche converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.

New York Rangers won 63% 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.
