Winnipeg Jets vs Montreal Canadiens Game Analysis — Tuesday, January 28, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Winnipeg Jets won despite being outshot 25–24. Montreal Canadiens generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Winnipeg Jets scored on 16.7% of its shots, compared with 4.0% for Montreal Canadiens. 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.

Winnipeg Jets converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Montreal Canadiens had no power-play opportunities. Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.

Montreal Canadiens won 57.4% 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.
