Utah Mammoth vs Washington Capitals Game Analysis — Sunday, February 9, 2025

By Hockey in 60

Utah Mammoth won despite being outshot 42–27. Washington Capitals generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Because the game was settled in a shootout, the final score includes a deciding goal that is not a regulation or overtime shot. The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.

Utah Mammoth converted 1 of 1 power plays (100.0%); Washington Capitals converted 2 of 2 power plays (100.0%). Utah Mammoth overcame a 1-goal disadvantage in power-play scoring, so its winning edge came from goals recorded outside the power play and the shootout decision. Those goals can include even-strength, shorthanded and empty-net situations.

Washington Capitals won 58.6% 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.
