Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canadiens attack left, Maple Leafs attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: MTL 31, TOR 27.

MTL in red TOR in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Canadiens 31 shots on goal (2 goals, 16 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Maple Leafs 27 shots on goal (5 goals, 8 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 58.1% of the shot attempts, and 54.2% of the 96 attempts taken at 5-on-5. An attempt is a goal, a shot on goal, a miss or a blocked shot; CF% is the share of them belonging to the Maple Leafs and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canadiens hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
