Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canucks attack left, Stars 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. Boxscore shots on goal: VAN 26, DAL 31.

VAN in red DAL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canucks 26 shots on goal (5 goals, 14 missed, 20 blocked) attacking left; Stars 31 shots on goal (3 goals, 15 missed, 15 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Stars took 50.4% of the shot attempts, and 49.0% of the 98 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 Stars and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Canucks hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
