Pittsburgh Penguins vs Utah Mammoth Game Analysis — Wednesday, January 29, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Both teams recorded 29 shots on goal, so shot volume does not explain Pittsburgh Penguins’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.
Pittsburgh Penguins converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Utah Mammoth converted 1 of 1 power plays (100.0%). Pittsburgh Penguins 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.
Pittsburgh Penguins won 56.7% 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.
