Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Penguins attack left, Panthers 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: PIT 17, FLA 37.

PIT in red FLA in blue goal shot on goal missed blocked Penguins 17 shots on goal (5 goals, 17 missed, 9 blocked) attacking left; Panthers 37 shots on goal (3 goals, 24 missed, 20 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Panthers took 65.3% of the shot attempts, and 62.6% of the 99 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 Panthers and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Penguins hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
