Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blue Jackets attack left, Predators 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. Boxscore shots on goal: CBJ 39, NSH 32.

CBJ in red NSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blue Jackets 39 shots on goal (1 goal, 12 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Predators 32 shots on goal (2 goals, 13 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Blue Jackets took 54.5% of the shot attempts, and 58.3% of the 103 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 Predators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blue Jackets hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
