Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Senators 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; 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: NSH 26, OTT 32.
