Vegas Golden Knights vs Carolina Hurricanes Game Analysis — Friday, January 17, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Carolina Hurricanes won despite being outshot 31–28. Vegas Golden Knights generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Carolina Hurricanes scored on 10.7% of its shots, compared with 6.5% for Vegas Golden Knights. 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.
Vegas Golden Knights converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%); Carolina Hurricanes converted 0 of 4 power plays (0.0%). Carolina Hurricanes 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.
Carolina Hurricanes won 61.2% 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.
