Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Bruins attack left, Avalanche 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; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: BOS 14, COL 38.

BOS in red COL in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Bruins 14 shots on goal (1 goal, 7 missed, 18 blocked) attacking left; Avalanche 38 shots on goal (4 goals, 21 missed, 29 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Avalanche took 69.3% of the shot attempts, and 70.5% of the 105 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 Avalanche and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Bruins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
