Washington Capitals vs Philadelphia Flyers Game Analysis — Thursday, February 6, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Washington Capitals won despite being outshot 22–18. Philadelphia Flyers generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Washington Capitals scored on 22.2% of its shots, compared with 13.6% for Philadelphia Flyers. 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.

Washington Capitals converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); Philadelphia Flyers converted 1 of 2 power plays (50.0%). Washington Capitals overcame a 1-goal disadvantage in power-play scoring, so its winning edge came from goals recorded outside the power play. Those goals can include even-strength, shorthanded and empty-net situations.

Philadelphia Flyers won 57.4% 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.
