By Hockey in 60
Chicago Blackhawks won despite being outshot 35–21. Tampa Bay Lightning generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Chicago Blackhawks scored on 19.0% of its shots, compared with 2.9% for Tampa Bay Lightning. 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.
Chicago Blackhawks converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); Tampa Bay Lightning converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 3-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
Tampa Bay Lightning won 59.3% 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.
