Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche Game Analysis — Monday, January 20, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Minnesota Wild won despite being outshot 27–26. Colorado Avalanche generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Minnesota Wild scored on 11.5% of its shots, compared with 3.7% for Colorado Avalanche. 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.
Minnesota Wild converted 0 of 4 power plays (0.0%); Colorado Avalanche converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
