Columbus Blue Jackets vs New York Rangers Game Analysis — Saturday, January 18, 2025
By Hockey in 60
New York Rangers won despite being outshot 27–26. Columbus Blue Jackets generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Because the game was settled in a shootout, the final score includes a deciding goal that is not a regulation or overtime shot. The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.
Columbus Blue Jackets converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); New York Rangers converted 0 of 1 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 60.5% 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.
