Both the shot totals and the final score imply a much closer contest than what was actually the case. The Ducks were simply the better team on this occasion.

Note: The Nolan goal, scored at 9:03 of the 2nd Period, was not counted as a scoring chance.

This was probably the most entertaining game that the Wild have played in thus far, as well as their best played game. While the play was fairly balanced at even strength, the Wild had a decisive advantage in terms of overall scoring chances on the basis of superior special teams play.

Note: The Third Minnesota goal, which was scored by Belanger with 2:12 left in the third period, was not counted as a scoring chance. I thought had Giguere should have made the save, an observation that was corroborated by the comments of the broadcasting duo as well as Giguere's post-goal demeanor.

As some may be aware, I've agreed to record scoring chances for the Minnesota Wild during the 2009-10 NHL season. My efforts are part of a broader project that will see Scott Reynolds record the scoring chances for the Colorado Avalanche, with Dennis King doing the same for the Edmonton Oilers.

I should also that occasional poster Olivier appears to have posted the scoring chance numbers for several of the Canadiens' preseason games. I'm not sure if he plans to continue to do so over the course of the regular season, but it would be great if he did.

Anyway, displayed above are the scoring chances for the Wild's first game, which saw them face off against the Blue Jackets. Thanks to an application created by Vic Ferrari, I was able to post the data without much difficulty at all. There isn't anything notable that can be said about the game, other than the fact that it was a cautious, methodical affair which featured tentative play from both squads.
