Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens Game Analysis — Saturday, January 18, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Toronto Maple Leafs won despite being outshot 35–34. Montreal Canadiens generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Toronto Maple Leafs scored on 20.6% of its shots, compared with 8.6% for Montreal Canadiens. 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.
Toronto Maple Leafs converted 2 of 4 power plays (50.0%); Montreal Canadiens converted 1 of 5 power plays (20.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 4-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
Montreal Canadiens won 58.2% 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.
