Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blue Jackets attack left, Wild attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 2 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: CBJ 32, MIN 52.

CBJ in red MIN in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Blue Jackets 32 shots on goal (7 goals, 12 missed, 21 blocked) attacking left; Wild 52 shots on goal (4 goals, 17 missed, 17 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Wild took 57.0% of the shot attempts, and 56.9% of the 102 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 Wild 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
