By Hockey in 60
Minnesota Wild won despite being outshot 38–24. Carolina Hurricanes generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Minnesota Wild scored on 8.3% of its shots, compared with 2.6% for Carolina Hurricanes. 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.
Carolina Hurricanes converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); Minnesota Wild 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.
Carolina Hurricanes won 59.3% 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.
