Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Predators attack left, Maple Leafs attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so a mark in a team's own end would be an attempt logged from there (none in this game); 2 empty-net goals are drawn as diamonds. Boxscore shots on goal: NSH 30, TOR 28.

NSH in red TOR in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Predators 30 shots on goal (4 goals, 14 missed, 27 blocked) attacking left; Maple Leafs 28 shots on goal (7 goals, 17 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Predators took 55.5% of the shot attempts, and 56.1% of the 107 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 Maple Leafs and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Predators hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
