Vegas Golden Knights vs St. Louis Blues Game Analysis — Thursday, January 23, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Vegas Golden Knights paired the victory with a 31–17 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 64.6% of the two teams’ combined shots. It recorded 1.8 times as many shots on target, a substantial volume advantage alongside the win. Shot totals alone do not show the quality of those chances or how the balance changed while either team was protecting a lead.
Vegas Golden Knights converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); St. Louis Blues converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 2-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
St. Louis Blues won 52.6% of faceoffs yet was outshot 31–17. 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.
