Edmonton Oilers vs Minnesota Wild Game Analysis — Wednesday, January 15, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Edmonton Oilers paired the victory with a 36–34 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 51.4% 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.
Edmonton Oilers converted 1 of 1 power plays (100.0%); Minnesota Wild converted 2 of 3 power plays (66.7%). Edmonton Oilers 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.
