Pittsburgh Penguins vs San Jose Sharks Game Analysis — Monday, January 27, 2025
By Hockey in 60
San Jose Sharks won despite being outshot 30–28. Pittsburgh Penguins generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. San Jose Sharks scored on 7.1% of its shots, compared with 3.3% for Pittsburgh Penguins. 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.
Pittsburgh Penguins converted 0 of 4 power plays (0.0%); San Jose Sharks 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.
Pittsburgh Penguins won 57.1% 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.
