Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Canucks attack left, Penguins 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, PIT 26.

VAN in red PIT in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Canucks 24 shots on goal (1 goal, 25 missed, 20 blocked) attacking left; Penguins 26 shots on goal (5 goals, 16 missed, 23 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Canucks took 51.5% of the shot attempts, and 52.5% of the 101 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 Penguins 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
