Winnipeg Jets vs Washington Capitals Game Analysis — Saturday, February 1, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Winnipeg Jets paired the victory with a 30–29 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 50.8% 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.

Winnipeg Jets converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%); Washington Capitals converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%). The 1-goal net power-play edge matched the 1-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.

Winnipeg Jets won 60% 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.
