By Hockey in 60
San Jose Sharks won despite being outshot 28–24. Detroit Red Wings generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. San Jose Sharks scored on 25.0% of its shots, compared with 10.7% for Detroit Red Wings. 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.
San Jose Sharks converted 1 of 1 power plays (100.0%); Detroit Red Wings converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 3-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
