Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Sharks attack left, Islanders attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 8 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: SJS 36, NYI 27.

SJS in red NYI in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Sharks 36 shots on goal (3 goals, 13 missed, 19 blocked) attacking left; Islanders 27 shots on goal (4 goals, 18 missed, 7 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Sharks took 56.7% of the shot attempts, and 60.5% 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 Islanders and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Sharks hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
