By Hockey in 60
Tampa Bay Lightning paired the victory with a 31–28 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 52.5% 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.
Ottawa Senators converted 0 of 3 power plays (0.0%); Tampa Bay Lightning converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%). The 1-goal net power-play edge accounted for part of the 4-goal final margin. This identifies special teams as a meaningful scoring difference, without proving how the game would have unfolded with different penalties.
Ottawa Senators won 51.6% of faceoffs yet was outshot 31–28. The faceoff advantage was not accompanied by a shot-volume advantage in the full-game totals. Winning a draw can provide an initial chance to control the puck, but it does not establish sustained possession or attacking pressure; zone entries, puck recovery and chance-quality data would be needed to explain the disconnect.
