Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens Game Analysis — Thursday, January 30, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Minnesota Wild paired the victory with a 27–19 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 58.7% of the two teams’ combined shots. That gives the result support beyond the scoreline: the winning side also put more attempts on target. Shot totals alone do not show the quality of those chances or how the balance changed while either team was protecting a lead.
Minnesota Wild converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Montreal Canadiens 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.
Montreal Canadiens won 62.2% of faceoffs yet was outshot 27–19. The faceoff advantage was not accompanied by a shot-volume advantage in the full-game totals. Winning a draw can provide an initial chance to control the puck, but it does not establish sustained possession or attacking pressure; zone entries, puck recovery and chance-quality data would be needed to explain the disconnect.
