Boston Bruins vs New York Rangers Game Analysis — Wednesday, February 5, 2025

By Hockey in 60

New York Rangers paired the victory with a 22–17 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 56.4% 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.

Boston Bruins converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); New York Rangers 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.

New York Rangers won 55.4% 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.
