Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks Game Analysis — Saturday, January 18, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Vancouver Canucks paired the victory with a 27–15 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 64.3% of the two teams’ combined shots. It recorded 1.8 times as many shots on target, a substantial volume advantage alongside the win. 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 2 power plays (50.0%); Vancouver Canucks converted 2 of 4 power plays (50.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge matched the 1-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.

Vancouver Canucks won 57.7% 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.
