Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Kings attack left, Golden Knights attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: LAK 26, VGK 35.

LAK in red VGK in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Kings 26 shots on goal (5 goals, 5 missed, 15 blocked) attacking left; Golden Knights 35 shots on goal (5 goals, 14 missed, 21 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Golden Knights took 60.3% of the shot attempts, and 58.9% of the 90 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 Golden Knights and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Kings hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
