Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canucks attack left, Capitals 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: VAN 24, WSH 31.

VAN in red WSH in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canucks 24 shots on goal (4 goals, 11 missed, 2 blocked) attacking left; Capitals 31 shots on goal (3 goals, 29 missed, 24 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Capitals took 69.4% of the shot attempts, and 69.8% of the 86 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 Capitals 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
