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.
