Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Blackhawks attack left, Lightning attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: CHI 25, TBL 31.

CHI in red TBL in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Blackhawks 25 shots on goal (3 goals, 16 missed, 7 blocked) attacking left; Lightning 31 shots on goal (2 goals, 23 missed, 19 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Lightning took 60.3% of the shot attempts, and 65.6% of the 96 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 Lightning and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Blackhawks hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
