Columbus Blue Jackets vs Vegas Golden Knights Game Analysis — Thursday, January 30, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Columbus Blue Jackets won despite being outshot 26–24. Vegas Golden Knights generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Columbus Blue Jackets scored on 8.3% of its shots, compared with 3.8% for Vegas Golden Knights. 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.
Columbus Blue Jackets converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Vegas Golden Knights converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
Vegas Golden Knights won 58.7% 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.
