Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Rangers attack left, Canadiens 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. Boxscore shots on goal: NYR 22, MTL 24.

NYR in red MTL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Rangers 22 shots on goal (4 goals, 18 missed, 11 blocked) attacking left; Canadiens 24 shots on goal (3 goals, 13 missed, 14 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canadiens took 50.0% of the shot attempts, and 48.1% of the 79 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 Canadiens and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Rangers hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
