Columbus Blue Jackets vs Utah Mammoth Game Analysis — Friday, January 31, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Columbus Blue Jackets won despite being outshot 34–23. Utah Mammoth generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Columbus Blue Jackets scored on 13.0% of its shots, compared with 5.9% for Utah Mammoth. 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 2 power plays (0.0%); Utah Mammoth converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%). Columbus Blue Jackets 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.
Utah Mammoth won 61.7% 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.
