Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Bruins 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: TBL 23, BOS 33.

Attempt share by period

Bruins took 55.7% of the shot attempts, and 47.8% 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 Bruins and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
