Minnesota Wild vs Ottawa Senators Game Analysis — Saturday, February 1, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Ottawa Senators paired the victory with a 52–16 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 76.5% of the two teams’ combined shots. It recorded 3.3 times as many shots on target, a substantial volume advantage alongside the win. 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 3 power plays (0.0%); Ottawa Senators converted 3 of 8 power plays (37.5%). The 3-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 6-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.

Ottawa Senators won 70.7% 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.
