By Hockey in 60
Both teams recorded 27 shots on goal, so shot volume does not explain New York Islanders’s advantage. The difference lay in the number of those shots that became goals, rather than in the number reaching the net. A box score alone cannot determine whether that reflected better chances, finishing or goaltending.
Carolina Hurricanes converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); New York Islanders 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.
New York Islanders won 65.2% of faceoffs. That is a clear edge in restarts, but faceoff percentage should not be treated as a possession percentage: the totals do not show where the draws occurred or what happened immediately afterwards.
