New Jersey Devils vs Pittsburgh Penguins Game Analysis — Tuesday, February 4, 2025
By Hockey in 60
New Jersey Devils won despite being outshot 27–21. Pittsburgh Penguins generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Because the game was settled in a shootout, the final score includes a deciding goal that is not a regulation or overtime shot. The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.
New Jersey Devils converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Pittsburgh Penguins converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
Pittsburgh Penguins won 63% 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.
