New Jersey Devils vs Montreal Canadiens Game Analysis — Saturday, February 8, 2025
By Hockey in 60
New Jersey Devils won despite being outshot 34–22. Montreal Canadiens generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. New Jersey Devils scored on 18.2% of its shots, compared with 0.0% for Montreal Canadiens. 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.
New Jersey Devils converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); Montreal Canadiens converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
Montreal Canadiens won 61% 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.
