Vancouver Canucks vs Nashville Predators Game Analysis — Wednesday, January 29, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Vancouver Canucks won despite being outshot 32–22. Nashville Predators generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Vancouver Canucks scored on 13.6% of its shots, compared with 3.1% for Nashville Predators. 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.
Vancouver Canucks converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%); Nashville Predators converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 2-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
Nashville Predators won 66% 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.
