Montreal Canadiens vs San Jose Sharks Game Analysis — Tuesday, February 4, 2025
By Hockey in 60
Montreal Canadiens won despite being outshot 30–20. San Jose Sharks generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Montreal Canadiens scored on 20.0% of its shots, compared with 10.0% for San Jose Sharks. 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.
Montreal Canadiens converted 2 of 4 power plays (50.0%); San Jose Sharks converted 2 of 4 power plays (50.0%). Power-play goal totals were level, so the difference in the final score came from other scoring situations.
Montreal Canadiens won 58.7% 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.
