Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Lightning attack left, Blue Jackets 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). Boxscore shots on goal: TBL 24, CBJ 31.

TBL in red CBJ in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Lightning 24 shots on goal (2 goals, 19 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Blue Jackets 31 shots on goal (3 goals, 16 missed, 16 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Blue Jackets took 50.4% of the shot attempts, and 57.1% 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 Blue Jackets and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Lightning hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
