Nashville Predators vs San Jose Sharks Game Analysis — Thursday, January 23, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Nashville Predators paired the victory with a 38–35 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 52.1% 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.
Nashville Predators converted 3 of 5 power plays (60.0%); San Jose Sharks converted 1 of 4 power plays (25.0%). The 2-goal net power-play edge exceeded 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.
