Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Lightning 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 34, TBL 25.
