Colorado Avalanche vs New York Rangers Game Analysis — Sunday, January 26, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Colorado Avalanche won despite being outshot 37–22. New York Rangers generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Colorado Avalanche scored on 22.7% of its shots, compared with 10.8% for New York Rangers. 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.
Colorado Avalanche converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); New York Rangers converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge matched 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.
New York Rangers won 56.9% 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.
