Pittsburgh Penguins vs Anaheim Ducks Game Analysis — Thursday, January 23, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Anaheim Ducks paired the victory with a 34–32 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 51.5% 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.
Pittsburgh Penguins converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%); Anaheim Ducks converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). Anaheim Ducks 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.
Pittsburgh Penguins won 57.4% of faceoffs yet was outshot 34–32. 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.
