Washington Capitals vs Ottawa Senators Game Analysis — Thursday, January 30, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Ottawa Senators won despite being outshot 35–34. Washington Capitals generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Ottawa Senators scored on 14.7% of its shots, compared with 11.4% for Washington Capitals. 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.
Washington Capitals converted 2 of 6 power plays (33.3%); Ottawa Senators converted 2 of 5 power plays (40.0%). Power-play goal totals were level, so the difference in the final score came from other scoring situations.
Ottawa Senators 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.
