Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights Game Analysis — Tuesday, January 28, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Both teams recorded 28 shots on goal, so shot volume does not explain Dallas Stars’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.

Dallas Stars converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Vegas Golden Knights converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%). Dallas Stars overcame a 1-goal disadvantage in power-play scoring, so its winning edge came from goals recorded outside the power play. Those goals can include even-strength, shorthanded and empty-net situations.
