Carolina Hurricanes vs Dallas Stars Game Analysis — Tuesday, January 21, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Carolina Hurricanes won despite being outshot 23–19. Dallas Stars generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Carolina Hurricanes scored on 10.5% of its shots, compared with 4.3% for Dallas Stars. 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.
Carolina Hurricanes converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Dallas Stars 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.
