New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens Game Analysis — Sunday, January 19, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Montreal Canadiens paired the victory with a 37–28 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 56.9% 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.
New York Rangers converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); Montreal Canadiens converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). Montreal Canadiens 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.
New York Rangers won 52.9% of faceoffs yet was outshot 37–28. The faceoff advantage was not accompanied by a shot-volume advantage in the full-game totals. Winning a draw can provide an initial chance to control the puck, but it does not establish sustained possession or attacking pressure; zone entries, puck recovery and chance-quality data would be needed to explain the disconnect.
